Senior Lecturer in Composition, Dr John De Simone, features in an online event with Ensemble Thing. This concert is part of the Made in Scotland Showcase and the Summerhall Festival 2021.
Performed by cellist-composer Emily De Simone, systems_theory is a curated set of multimedia works reflecting human impact on the world – from Thomas Butler’s Coordinates for Cello, where lines between performer and technology become blurred, to Emily and John De Simone’s flow, where we break into imagined landscapes in response to Hannah Imlach’s film Fieldwork. Through this journey we see Emily virtualised in Shona Mackay’s Tai Chi-inspired Cloud Hands, transfigured through Michael Gordon’s Light Is Calling, and become woven into the fabric of Kate Moore’s Velvet.
