“Toby and I
started exchanging ideas about this collaboration a few years back, and
straight away it felt like this project was going to be special,” says Morton. “It’s such a treat to be able to bring
together exhilarating sounds with an adventurous visual artist within a this
very special space.”

“I’ve long admired Scottish Ensemble’s innovative approach to
presenting less well-known and potentially challenging work in a way that offers new perspectives on music that might be more familiar,” adds
Paterson. “It is fantastically exciting
to be working in collaboration with Jonathan Morton and the Scottish Ensemble
to further extend this approach to include the environment in which their
performance is experienced.
