Blaw, Otis Jordan, Pat's Soundhouse 25th September @ Dissenter Space

Filling in the cultural void left by the festival season this year (good riddance 2026 fringe!) - we’re bringing you 3 experimental acts from the central belt to soothe your pedestrian rage after experiencing everyone’s first day on earth for a whole month.

Otis Jordan is a Glasgow-based musician and artist from Manchester making experimental folk music with traditional acoustic instruments, electronic sounds, field recordings, homemade instruments, and other materials. Otis’s latest work assembles a range of melodic themes that jump in between various sound worlds, bringing in the touches of a number of his musician friends. Otis sometimes performs alone and other times with friends. we are not sure whether it will be a solo/band setup yet, but if you come you’ll find out!

Pat’s Soundhouse is the project of Filipino composer and improvising musician, Pat. Having recently graduated with a degree in composition from the royal conservatoire of Scotland, Pat has amassed a large online following in recent months by posting videos of himself playing the Khaen, a mouth organ from Laos made with bamboo tubes of varying lengths. Serene soundscapes and the sweet textures of guitar, synth, and a number of other instruments combine in Pat’s recent work. We are excited to see what he brings for this performance after a stellar guest appearance on slipping’s ehfm show last month.

Blaw is a noise rock trio comprised by local scene legends Kieron (cowboy builder, px4m, Bamya, and about 50 other bands. we can’t list them all), artist Fiona Beveridge (pal, px4m) and mb (overall legend). Taking from influences like sonic youth, pram, and maybe even the raincoats, these guys will be bringing some angst and fuzz to the evening with fresh songs and brand new sound.

This is a not-for-profit sound art event. All of the money from this ticket will be used to pay the artists, equipment and other costs to run the event. As always, message [email protected] if you have any queries. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. Do let us know if this is a barrier to you and we can work something out.

Dissenter Space can be accessed through a lift, however, there are a few steps to the entryway. Message us if you require a ramp.
