About this event

Part of Sonica Glasgow 2026 This song cycle is inspired by composer Martin Green’s fascination for the universal affinities he finds in folk songs around the world. Folding Songs brings together music from Scotland and Serbia and although they originate from two ostensibly different cultures, these songs share universal themes of love and loss, heartbreak and hope. Alongside his classic accordion, Green adds his own custom-built instrument: the syndrone, a unique synth/drone together with the improvisational guitarwork of Scotland’s Graeme Stephen and Serbian singer Svetlana Spajić’s powerful vocals. These pieces build from the simplest notes to towering peaks of sound, accompanied by live visuals from Kurt d’Haeseleer, costume from Alison Brown and Lighting Design by Zeynep Kepekli. Duration - 50 mins ACCESS - Highly visual/ no or little text Photo by Sandy Butler
