SOUNZ Virtual Concert

Maria Grenfell's contrapuntal 'Clockwerk' kicks off this programme inspired by construction, robots, and unusual musical instruments. Jason Long expertly melds live electronics with the sounds of a robotic glockenspiel in 'Broken Mirror', while Alex Taylor deconstructs a series of dances in 'burlesques mècaniques'. David Hamilton's lively 'Hurdy Gurdy' evokes the eponymous string instrument with the medieval melody 'Como poden per sas culpas'.
