Duration
Inge Thomson is a musical force like no other. Having grown up in the UK’s most remote island community – Fair Isle, Shetland – Inge has been creating music for over 20 years as a composer, producer, lyricist, multi-instrumentalist and performer. Although best known as a long term collaborator with The Karine Polwart Trio, in her own right Inge creates large scale multi-media works, produces content for radio and film soundtrack, performs and records in solo capacity and in cross-disciplinary collaborations including projects with scientists, visual artists, animators, theatre makers and textile artists.
Counterflows and Cove Park are delighted to announce a new residency for Scottish and Vietnamese musicians. Taking place before new performances at Counterflows Festival in April 2025, Cove Park will host Saigon and Hanoi-based musicians Vũ Hà Anh and Trần Uy Đức along with Scottish artists Inge Thomson and Sholto Dobie. The residency offers time and space for all four artists to explore, share, make and rework their music both together and separately.
Counterflows is an internationally acclaimed Glasgow-based contemporary music festival that celebrates challenging and thought provoking work in the context of what might be called experimental music; supporting marginal music practice within a wide array of different genres and approaches to music and sound. Taking place annually, the festival features artists from Scotland, UK and around the world, and celebrates and explores culture on a local and international scale.
This programme is supported by the British Council and Creative Scotland’s Extend Fund.
