Alasdair Roberts, guitar and Ross Whyte, electronics
Aberdeen-based instrumentalist/composer Ross Whyte and Glasgow-based folk singer/guitarist/composer Alasdair Roberts collaborate musically for the first time. They took the opportunity of a period of time spent in the Braemar/Cairngorm Park area to explore the history, landscape, folklore and musical heritage of that location, researches which informed the musical work they have created together. Building on Ross’s practice in the field of electroacoustic composition as well as on Alasdair’s interest in the folk song culture of Scotland in general, the residency will provided an opportunity for both artists to broaden their own musical ranges in the creation of work which explores and engages with notions of tradition in a fresh, exploratory manner.
