One Day Band: Volume 1 (Compilation) | Vinyl
June 2019
Trestle Records
Trestle Records is a London based label dedicated to new instrumental music. Alongside a programme of new LP releases the label also hosts the One Day Band sessions. Musicians are invited to a fully engineered studio to make a record in a day. A multitude of artists have been invited to participate from a variety of backgrounds and genres of music. Trestle Record’s One Day Band series encourages musicians to improvise and compose a record in just one day. Often, musicians have had no musical experience together before, and are playing together for the very first time.
Trestle Records presents the first compilation featuring a selection of tracks from our project, the One Day Band sessions. This very special release will be limited to 300 copies of 180 gram vinyl with die cut cover design.
The record contains 11 tracks from the 20 sessions we have hosted so far. The musicians included come from a variety of genres and traditions, providing a unique gathering of talent in one place. It’s a release for the curious and eclectic listener and rewards with a rich variety of approaches and sounds, all improvised and collaborative during a day’s recording.

THE SHAMAN | ARCTIC SYMPHONY: Orchestral Music by Vincent Ho
October 2017
Centrediscs CMCCD 24317
Vincent Ho’s music is wild and fanciful, and takes us to the limits of sonic energy, but it is also intimate and tender, for he is not afraid to reveal his truly lyrical soul. THE SHAMAN is a work that sets an atmosphere of magical stillness, with the soloist evoking unearthly sounds – wolf calls, shimmering colours, and the lightest of orchestral textures. It is powerful work that merges the spiritual indigenous world with the modern classical world to create a compelling musical journey. ARCTIC SYMPHONY was inspired by the composer’s first-hand experience of the Arctic Ocean with a scientific research team aboard a Canadian Coast Guard ship.

John Corigliano: Conjurer / Vocalise
September 2013
Naxos 8.559757
Leading American composer John Corigliano had reservations about writing a percussion concerto, but the challenge fascinated him. The result is Conjurer, a concerto for percussion like no other, in which ‘wood, metal and skin’ are utilised in such a way that the soloist, Dame Evelyn Glennie—the world’s greatest percussion virtuoso—‘conjures’ the musical material from these three choirs, and the orchestra then shares and develops the themes.

Cults Percussion Ensemble
October 2012
Trunk JBH046
The Cults Percussion Ensemble must have one of the best group names of all time. To many it will immediately come across as something sinister, a touch spooky and possibly a bit dramatic too. They are certainly two of those but the use of the word “Cults” here is easily misinterpreted. Cults, in this case, is the suburb of Aberdeen.
This is the only album by the group. Assembled by percussion teacher Ron Forbes in 1976, the average age of the students was just 14. They came from a few of the schools in the area, including the Cults Academy, Ellon Academy, Aboyne Academy, Inverurie Academy and Powis.
Over the years the original privately pressed album has achieved a little notoriety, not just because of the very beautiful music, but also because of the notable presence of one future star – Evelyn Glennie, here just 13 years of age.

August 2012
UMC 6927
This recording features the musical highlights from the jaw-dropping Opening Ceremony of London 2012 Olympic Games. Evelyn’s immensely popular performance and musical contributions are featured on the fifteen minute track And I Will Kiss, which accompanied the Pandemonium section of the ceremony. The infectious, energetic drumming on this track depicts the industrial revolution. The beautiful Caliban’s Dream – a solemn song of hope – features Evelyn on the Glennie Aluphone accompanying haunting voices. Caliban’s Dream was performed as young athletes made their way to light the Olympic Cauldron.

Ecstatic Drumbeat
July 2012
BIS BIS-SACD-1599
An exciting collaboration between Evelyn Glennie and the Taipei Chinese Orchestra has resulted in this recording of newly composed pieces for percussion and Chinese orchestra. Unique arrangements of other works, originally for percussion and Western symphony orchestra, are also featured. Doubtless a new sound-world to many, the Chinese orchestra provides a broad and distinctive range of sounds unobtainable on Western instruments. This fascinating CD displays those sounds in all their resplendent glory.

Sound Spirits
April 2012
Evelyn Glennie Productions / Bowers & Wilkins Society of Sound
Recorded at Real World Sound Spirits is a totally improvised recording by the great Danish guitarist Jon Hemmersam and Evelyn. Instead of employing a vast array of percussion instruments, Evelyn decided to place everything inside of a grand piano to create all the natural percussive and resonant sounds heard on this recording. No enhancement of any kind is used for either musician. The listener experiences two musicians, never having met before this recording, both hearing-impaired, both connecting on a level that was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Steven Stucky: Pinturas de Tamayo
April 2010
BIS BIS-CD-1622
Pinturas de Tamayo is the result of American composer Steven Stucky’s encounter with the art of the Mexican painter Rufino Tamayo. Initially struck by the painting The Great Galaxy – reproduced on the cover of this CD – he chose this and four other paintings as his points of departure for a five-movement suite, which although it is far from pictorial certainly offers as much colour and poetry as the paintings themselves. In Spirit Voices for percussion and orchestra, Stucky has explored mythical beings from around the world, including Coyote, the trickster god of the Navajo Indians, mountain goblins of Japanese folk culture, and the Scottish bean nighe, a female wraith portending death.
