Enjoy an updated overview of what we do. And – do join our newsletter below, in case you want the occasional input on our activities.
We are set to three dates during NMD in Glasgow – Oct 29th – Nov. 3rd. : A recording with Kevin Boywer, a premiere of Shadowgraph, our new piece for an extended Lemur, and a quartet set. Details TBC.
AMOR/LEMUR is the amalgamation of two very different musical ventures.
Glasgow-based avant-disco unit AMOR met LEMUR on stage at the Glasgow Centre for Contemporary Art in early 2020, weeks before Covid shut down the live arts. The resulting live set turned into a dancable and extatic collaboration, a democratic approach attesting to the communal experience and possibilities of disco. Their following recording session captured much of this energy, resulting in “the loosest, liveliest and most elevated recording in AMOR’s catalogue”, according to their label Night School.

Under development. Expected premiere spring 2025.
A new work for ensemble and electronics where encapsulating soundscapes are drawn from outdoor performances at Veierland, a small roadless island outside Tønsberg, Norway. Changing sonic scenarios are captured and manipulated live, woven into the subtle performance of the four instrumentalists.
We are working on our lates project, Presque Rien, for ensemble and electronics. It is based on field recordings and instrumental recordings from outdoor performances at Veierland, a small roadless island outside Tønsberg, Norway. Changing sonic scenarios are captured and manipulated live, woven into the subtle performance of the four instrumentalists. Check out an excerpt available here ->
Presque rien !!
LEMUR return to Glasgow to lead this year’s Cramb Residency, in conjunction with Nordic Music Days.

On Wednesday 8 May, they will perform twice – joining the end of Kevin Bowyer’s organ recital (6pm) before, after a short break, their own set at 7.30pm.
On the afternoon of Thursday 9 May, they will take over the music building at 14 University Gardens for a discussion of their work, followed by a short break and some site-specific workshops in different parts of the building.
