Strange Rainbow play in imaginary worlds where the familiar dissolves into
the unfamiliar.
This is a very deliberate meeting of traditions. Catriona plays a
customised clarsach with sounds processed by Alistair MacDonald's laptop,
along with soundscapes drawn from the environment.
As a duo they make music that seems at once dislocated and greatly
concerned with roots and connections; a rendering of traditional musical
language refracted through contemporary performance technique, and then
again through the transformations of live electronics to explore new,
unimagined colours. |
