What a night at @soundfestivalThank you to everyone who joined us, and to composers @tansydavies @ruthmorleyflute and @blasiokavuma for their extraordinary work.And thanks to all at sound for looking after us so well. The music carried some heavy themes — of change, loss, and our connection to the natural world — but the energy in the room reminded us why we do this: to listen together, and to build community through sound.Aberdeen, you were wonderful ❤️#newmusic #soundfestival #contemporarymusic #soundart #ecology #community ...
