Curlew - Evolution
Description
For the latest Scots Whay Hae! Podcast, Ali spoke to Gill Higgins, who makes music as Curlew. Gill talks all things Evolution, her debut musical solo project, which includes 'Air', 'Earth', 'Fire', and 'Water'.
She sets out what people can expect from the forthcoming live show at The Dream Machine in Glasgow, which promises to be "an ambient electronic soundscape launch at an immersive event with surround sound and 360° visuals."
The two then talk about Gill's life in and around music, the importance of a musical community and collaboration, the unexpected cultural consequences of COVID, and why making music as part of CLR Theory led to Curlew.
Gill also goes into further detail about Evolution, including her burgeoning relationship with electronic music and instruments - the synthesiser in particular - how her scientific and medical background fed into the project, reconnecting with nature, and how the music emerged from the process itself.
Gill is one of Scots Whay Hae!'s very favourite musicians, playing over the years with only the finest bands and musicians, and it was such a treat to be able to learn at length about Curlew and Evolution.
