Tectonics 2023 opens with multi-disciplinary musician Inge Thomson’s new work Fight, Flight, Freeze and Fawn. Inspired by the natural law - “If you push on it, it pushes on you” -  it blends composed sound representations of human emotional responses to trauma with improvised reactions to manipulated interview excerpts. She’s joined by drummer and percussionist Calum McIntyre, ‘..without doubt one of the best and versatile skin-smackers in the country’ (The Scotsman).

Cellist-improviser, composer and artist Semay Wu’s live performances focus on an improvisational framework that encourages a space for spontaneity within dynamic scenarios. Building on the relationships that emerge, new collaborations and nuances unfold during the timeframe and become, themselves, players.
