AMM co-founder and percussionist Eddie Pr茅vost brings a third incarnation of his work Spirals to Tectonics Glasgow, using many of the festival鈥檚 soloists as performers. The aim, in Pr茅vost鈥檚 words, is 鈥渢o create new awarenesses of materials and relationships, whilst trying to build a sense of cohesiveness and response among a large group of musicians 鈥� without telling them precisely what to do.鈥�
鈥淭he first version in 1968 was an exploration of new compositional techniques embracing prose and graphic material. The second occasion in 1973 (subject to the 鈥榸eitgeist鈥�) brought ideas from the Kaballah to inform and enable a large ensemble. This version is primarily concerned with putting an exploratory ethos back into what has become an 鈥榚xperimental鈥� genre that seems to have neglected the spirit and activity of searching.鈥�
