Dumfries and Galloway composer Fraser Clark will launch his first solo EP ‘From the Depths’ this Saturday 10th December at The Stove Network, 100 High Street, Dumfries. Fraser will be performing from 7pm on Saturday night.
Speaking about his debut solo EP release, Fraser commented, “The challenge I set myself was to write music that was interesting to both myself and audiences alike. I feel that it can be too easy to hide behind a lot of techniques, so I wanted to devise a way of integrating different tones to work together. There are common intervals and harmonic progressions that feature throughout the EP, helping to establish a coherent sound.”
Fraser has been playing piano since the age of 12, studying for two years at the junior department of the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Dram graduating with a BMus degree from the University of Glasgow and awarded with the University prize for organ composition. Fraser’s work has been performed by a variety of professional musicians, including The Scottish Ensemble, organist Kevin Bowyer, cellist Robert Irvine and local Dumfries amateur choir, The Balliol Consort.
Tickets for the event are available from the Stove Café for £2, or can be bought on the night. The café will also be open and serving teas and cold drinks. BYOB.
