A great end to this year’s residency at Manchester University. It’s lovely to see so many contrasting compositional approaches and a growing collaborative sprit among the composers of tomorrow! Looking forward to hearing the results and to visiting again soon! @officialuom

Come to IABF this Friday and dive with us deeeep into Andrew Greenwald’s magical, impossible world! We have been working hard 😅😱🫠 and it’s so worth it! We’ll be presenting the world premiere of the Coda to his series of Things Made Whole 💜 In our double bill with New York’s absolutely mind-blowingly excellent TAK ensemble.. See you there!

NEXT WEEK❗️We are thrilled to have the amazing @takensemble in town sharing a double bill of astonishing music at the @anthonyburgessfoundation in Manchester 🥳 We’ll be performing works by Erin Gee, Golnaz Shariatzadeh, Tyshawn Sorey, Ashkan Behzadi, Hanna Hartman and Andrew Greenwald. Friday 29th - 7:30pm Tickets: https://www.anthonyburgess.org/event/concert-tak-ensemble-distractfold/

Urgent!!! Just 9 DAYS left to donate to @iklectikartlab fundraiser!!! These pics are just a few of our many memories from Iklectik, one of our all-time favourite venues both to play at and to listen. It’s impossible to exaggerate how important Iklectik has become to the arts scene here in the UK. Impeccable at their jobs, wonderful curators and unfailingly calm and welcoming, Eduard and Isa created the ideal space for the extremes of genuine experimentation, and proper high-quality sound making. No music too weird and no requirements too complex for them!! In fact, they have been quietly helping plug a lot of the gaps left by lack of proper funding in our arts scene, and the loss of so many venues to crazy rents/councils prioritising profitable development over the arts.. They have certainly helped keep Distractfold going (most notably as we came out of the pandemic) by providing us with space, skills, equipment and moral support when we’ve needed it most! Now let’s be there for them! Please if you haven’t already NOW IS THE TIME! GIVE THEM SOME MONEY!!!! https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/iklectikfuture Love Distractfold 💜

Absolute joy to be back rehearsing @andrew_greenwald_14 beautiful, shimmery, complex music. Putting together the final piece for a portrait album that is coming soon! The piece gets its first outing in Manchester this March in a double bill with New York’s brilliant ensemble @takensemble at the International Anthony Burgess Foundation. See you there! 🤩
