The OTOASOI Project UK: Otomo Yoshihide and The Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra

Otomo Yoshihide, when performing at Cafe OTO in 2009 was asked what project he would like to ring to the UK, he replied: Otoasobi. And now they are here! Through AC Projects’ eveloping collaborative relationship with Cafe OTO in London we are really excited to bring to Glasgow The Otoasobi Project from Japan. The day will inclue collaborations with the participants from Otoasobi and organisations from Scotland, Sonic Both, Sense Scotland and Artlink Central, exploring shared practice and processes in the use of creativity in music for people with learning disabilities.

To kick of the Otoasobi project’s visit to Scotland we welcome Japanese underground music legend Otomo Yoshihide performing both solo and with the Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra. Otomo has been involved with the Otoasobi Project over many years and it is a great opportunity to have him perform in his own inimitable style as a warm up to the big day.
