Aeolian, by Norwegian composer Maja S K Ratkje, artist Kathy Hinde and Danish accordionist Andreas Borregaard, combines newly-designed air-powered instruments with live musicians to create a new part performance, part kinetic-sculptural work. Inspired by the ‘breath’ of the accordion, Aeolian places Borregaard and his instrument at the centre of the work, both physically and musically.

Autonomous air-activated instruments form a sculptural installation whose sound blends with Red Note’s conventional instruments to create an extraordinary sonic experience in an extraordinary building – East Linton’s historic, beautifully restored, hexagonal Mart.

'With bizarre air-driven contraptions – bellows, fans, snaking tubes and expanding concertinas... Aeolian was an exquisite examination of sound, music, breath and air... lyrical and playful... and utterly bewitching from start to finish'
