Harry Gorski-Brown (Scotland, 1997)
Fisher Price Pipes (2022) 20’
Glasgow-based multi-instrumentalist Harry Gorski-Brown studied violin performance at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland before gravitating towards experimental composition, often including elements of electroacoustic and traditional music in his work.
At hcmf//, Gorski-Brown presents Fisher Price Pipes, a new project featuring old Gaelic songs set for voice, pipes and electronics. These centuries-old traditionals, one concerning courting and another relating to the Highland Clearances, are well-known in Gaelic communities and may be heard often enough, though never like this. Gorski-Brown’s voice and pipes propel these mesmerising, enduring works but it’s the “bear hug of electronics,” as he puts it, that evolves them into a new, distinct context with a strikingly bigger sound.
