Sholto Dobie was born in Edinburgh and lives in Vilnius, he performs with self-constructed wind instruments, using a frankenstein-like set up which has evolved over many years. An air pump is attached to a series of reeded and metal pipes from various sources – organs, bagpipes and khene – which are brought to life by an interrelated system of timer modules, valves and swinging microphones. Release 23 captures the rich world of pulses, beatings and breaths that have emerged from Sholto’s performance settings, whilst weaving them into a distinct and unique audio work. For anyone more familiar with Sholto’s work you will no doubt be warmed by recognisably delicate and evocative styles reminiscent of previous solo recordings such as Nevery and The Ringer as well as influences from friends and collaborators such as Judith Hamann, Malvern Brume, Ahti & Ahti, Rie Nakajima and Shakeeb Abu Hamdan.

'Katz Mulk is a performance group featuring Ben Morris, Ben Ellul-Knight with a rotating cast of collaborators. Over the past few years, Katz Mulk have developed a reputation for their mind-boggling live performances, infusing dance, sculpture and choreography with their slippery experimental electronic pop. Their most recent album 'vital attachments' was released on the Klammklang label, which worked up songs performed as part of their performances at Counterflows Festival and a residency at Chapter Arts in 2019. Katz Mulk have performed in lots of places in the UK and EU, and only once have they had bananas thrown at them'.

For this performance, Katz Mulk will present their recent collaborative work with the artist Mary Hurrell and the Creative Technologist Chris Ball. Katz Mulk commissioned Mary and Chris to create a series of costumes embedded with a wireless speaker system for dancers to play with and inhabit'.
