Cartographies of Rhythm

'Fluid echoes of cultural grooves. Carving polyphonic cartographies through global rhythms. A spectral dialogue between time-worn traditions and the fractal dreams of tomorrow's sound.’
Across the globe rhythm forms the heart of cultural identity, whether it’s South American samba or Japanese taiko drumming, vibrant beats bring people together and spark creative expression. This show delves into the meeting points between global rhythmic traditions and explores how they’ve inspired bold experimentation in cutting-edge electronic music. Hosted solo to start, the show also aims to invite guests and shine a spotlight on Glasgow’s own rich and diverse cultural heritage.
