Thank you @same_woods & @fruitmarket for introducing me & @ScotEnsemble to Jyll Bradley, whose exquisite work can be glimpsed in this new film. Looking forward to experiencing it at scale next year !
Check out Pardes, a film by artist Jyll Bradley in collaboration with composer Anna Clyne and violist Jane Atkins, commissioned by Scottish Ensemble. A view of Pardes in miniature - the installation will be realised as a major installation in our new warehouse space Nov 2021.

Moving film about the ineffable power of music by @JohnBridcut on @BBCTwo. Bernard Haitink embodies humility & wonder, and allows us to peer into the unfathomable. Precious stuff ! https://t.co/hYcHyTnVfp via @bbciplayer

⚠️primal violin sounds⚠️
these bones 'extraneous' violin noises, slowed x4, x8, x16. Sharp attacks become growls, roars; breathy/toneless strokes gain harmonics halos; bow clicks become deep drums. (oh and some bass notes) Listen/watch/remake at https://t.co/KtQA0kGaDO

A lot of avenues were explored in the making of this project, and I hope the intense curiosity that fuelled us shines through. https://t.co/PwNxV9S6PN

these bones, this flesh, this skin combines Joan Clevillé's striking choreography, Genevieve Reeves's stunning cinematography, and @mcs42 's compositional wizardry, with performances by João Castro and myself.

Am so happy to share this new collaboration, released today. It was a joy to play my part within this amazing team. We bonded over a desire to create something from a shared artistic impulse, which took shape during some memorable & open-hearted conversations during lockdown.
Over the last few months, we’ve been collaborating with @ScotEnsemble to bring you a new creation: these bones, this flesh, this skin. We’re excited to announce that this new digital platform is now LIVE! Dive into the full work at https://t.co/y86KeKzCrk

I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of certainty about different things, but I'm not absolutely sure about anything. And there are many things I don't know anything about. It doesn't frighten me!
