Part of Glasgow Cathedral Festival’s 2021 Edition:
Press pause and take a moment to unwind with Explore Ensemble, letting atmospheric music envelop you in hushed contemplation, deep beneath the cathedral. This meditative event weaves threads of song through delicate instrumental textures, filling the mystical crypt with a lush tapestry of sound.
Making their Scottish debut, the acclaimed new music group presents Lawrence Dunn's Sentimental Drifting Music, alongside the UK premiere of Catherine Lamb’s Parallaxis Forma with vocalist Lotte Betts-Dean. Both pieces use ‘just intonation’ – a tuning system representing the perfect ratios of the natural world – which, with distant synthesisers and minimalist vocals, invites you to join the performers in a shared state of spacious calm.
