Otomo Yoshihide & the Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra
Event Information
Description
To kick off the Otoasobi project’s visit to Scotland and a real treat for fans of the Japanese underground music scene over the last 20
years Otomo Yoshihide will perform in solo context and also with the Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra. Otomo has been involved with the Otoasobi Project over many years and it is a great opportunity to have him perform in his own inimitable style as a warm up to the big day and also to work with GIO. A chance to see the art of improvisation at its collaborative best.
Tickets for the following night's Otoasobi Project UK Performance are available at http://otomo2.eventbrite.co.uk
Organiser AC Projects for Counterflows Festival
Organiser of Otomo Yoshihide & the Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra
AC Projects is the parent company behind Counterflows, a Glasgow-based festival dedicated to unusual and cutting-edge underground music. Whether born out of the likes of so-called DIY scenes, the internet or geographically remote communities, we believe that the underground belongs to a myriad of voices and is best engaged with when we come together, share ideas, break down borders, challenge hierarchies, push boundaries and quite simply have a lot of fun in the process.
The festival programme features a slew of international acts, as well as some of the best new music from the Scottish underground, with performances taking place across a carefully picked selection of spaces/venues in Glasgow. We are proud to host the festival in this city and hope the festival feels in some way an extension and celebration of the activity and community at the heart of it.
