The annual Making Tracks residency-and-tour package returns this autumn to initiate a series of new collaborations and showcase an array of dizzying sounds by eight captivating early-career artists committed to exploring innovative approaches to intercultural and interspecies music-making.

Danish hurdy-gurdy player and multi-instrumentalist Christian Mohr Levisen; UK composer, vocalist and sound-artist Helen Anahita Wilson; Kenyan percussionist, singer and guitarist Kasiva Matua; UK harpist singer-songwriter Anna Mcluckie; Uyghur rawap and dutar don Shohret Nur, UK double-bassist singer-songwriter Nina Harries; Finnish percussionist and electronics whizz Ossi Raippalinna; as well as Syrian-German violinist-singer Ayman Hall, will team-up to incubate original ideas and generate creative works during a two-week rural residency at Cove Park, overlooking Loch Long on the Scottish west coast, before taking their creations out on tour between September 20-October 4.

Alongside these live performances, Making Tracks will curate a complementary series of free workshops, made available to young people (especially the disadvantaged), providing opportunities for involvement in the collaborative processes set in motion by the project, as well as offering free access to the public concerts. ​
