  2. Resonant Frequencies, a weekend of experimental music curated by Bill ThompsonPart of sound, north east scotland's festival of new musicThursday 5 November to Sunday 8 November 2009 "The relationship between live electronics and percussion has a long history, stretching back to the early work of John Cage, Karlheinz Stockhausen, David Tudor, and Max Neuhaus to name just a few. In many of their works they chose to focus on the timbral qualities as much as the rhythmic aspects of percussion, extending this with the use of found objects, prepared instruments, and live electronics. Each of the artists featured in Resonant Frequencies - Mark Wastell, Burkhard Beins, Will Guthrie, and Bill Thompson - explores a similar territory in their own practice. In a series of solos, duets and a final quartet, this crossover between percussion and live electronics is fully explored as the artists improvise in various combinations during the week."

  4. Wednesday 28th October 7.30pm at the Beach Ballroom, Aberdeen Only two weeks to go until this years sound festival, which will begin with a concert by pianocircus, the unique 6-piano ensemble from London. Not to be missed, this concert will take place on the 28th October 2009 in the Beach Ballroom, Aberdeen. The concert will feature music by Yumi Hara Cawkwell, Erkki-Sven Tr, Colin Riley, Lynne Plowman as well as Graham Fitkin's Log, Line and Loud. "We sat, entranced if stiff, on the floor... If art can be measured by the time its effects take to wear off, this has been a corker of a week." Performance review by The Observer, June 2009 Listen to pianocircus on youtube For details on other sound events in the first week (Fidelio Trio, Darragh Morgan, DanceLive events, Pete Stollery, the Harmony Ensemble, Irene Drummond and Alasdair Beatson, Edinburgh Quartet and James Clapperton, Strange Rainbow) please see www.sound-scotland.co.uk Tickets for sound events are available on Aberdeen Box Office 01224 641122
