Text Compositions & Performance Art

This project was an exploration into "Composition as a Performance Art". It seeks to question what it is that musical composition, and subsequently performance, can consist of. A collection of seven pieces from a larger body of Text-Based Compositions.

Veil of Mist

Improvisations layered one upon another. The longform of the drone permeates my work, and this is one of several pieces to explore that - but the only one so far to have visuals attached. Inspired by the vague, the uncertain, the glitchy, and the pervasiveness of noise.

Aidan is a sound artist, composer, and experimental musician based in and around Glasgow, and is a Master’s Student in Sound for the Moving Image at the GSA. Often with a focus on a more abstract concept of sound as imagery, incorporating modern sonorities and techniques with a blend of more traditional methods, their work is heavily steeped in improvisation and the drone; usually with the philosophy of ‘why make music if you’re not going to get werid with it?’

Frequently performing in independent venues in Glasgow and beyond, they have also had works performed at festivals such as the Edinburgh International Harp Festival, Glasgow’s Sound Thought Festival, and the US-based online zFestival.

Aidan also writes electronic music under Gaia Complex, and is part of the electroacoustic duo Failed System Test.
