Glasgow's GLARC label returns to OTO with a scintillating quadruple bill, headed up Able Noise, an experimental baritone guitar and drum duo, based between The Hague, the Netherlands and Athens, Greece.
Able Noise - With GLARC 000000000000012, George and Alex were coerced into finally committing their somewhat legendary and until then exclusively live performance practice to tape. A duo composed of Baritone guitar and drums drifting over from The Hague and Athens, they have since released High Tide via World of Echo in 2024 to relentless acclaim and toured all over the place. It's a meditative sound, fractured by the stereo skew and pitch fluctuations of cassette tape, utilising imperfections and building whole songs from fragments of decay.
Sholto Dobie - Sholto Dobie was born in Edinburgh and lives in Vilnius. He regularly performs in events, using loose structures, site specific methodologies and an array of sound sources including home-made organs and bagpipes. Over the years, he has explored ideas related to folklore, environment and a sonic phenomenon. He is based in Vilnius where he co-organises the artist run space Studium P and curates a regular event and radio series for local and international experimental music called Progine. He has releases everywhere, with music on labels such as Mappa, All Night Flight, Kashual Plastik, Infant Tree, Takuroku, Penultimate Press and Thanet Tape Centre. A release with GLARC is planned this year (GLARC 0000000000000000000000000YETTOBEDETERMINED)
