The BBC SSO’s first performance in Tectonics 2016 is a new spatial work by Catherine Kontz written for the Old Fruitmarket which is derived from transcriptions of market vendors’ calls and shouts collected from around the world. An ‘attractor’ is ‘a geometric representation of oscillatory behaviour within a closed system’ and Richard Emsley’s new work weaves a loose imaginative association between never-resolving musical oscillations and the haunting, butterfly-like images of ‘strange’ attractors. Laurence Crane’s compositions have been called “gently subversive” and his new work will no doubt demonstrate his trademark (deceptive) simplicity. John Tilbury is the soloist in a new piano concerto from Howard Skempton, another composer often fêted for his ability to compose music of great complexity from the smallest of musical ideas. Finally, Jessika Kenney and Eyvind Kang present a new version of their work Concealed Unity, first performed at Tectonics Reykjavik in 2013, and performed for the first time with a new fourth movement.
