Mars in Aquarius plays Stockhausen in Aberdeen

 Yesterday (Saturday 20th) Mars in Aquarius was joined by a new player, Colin Edwards, in our second public performance (and our home town debut) in St Andrew’s Episcopal Cathedral, Aberdeen, playing a 30 minute programme of Intuitive Music by Stockhausen, punctuated by 3 Tierkreis melodies on the cathedral’s 3 manual & pedal organ. This was a significant advance on our very successful debut in the Royal Burgh of St Andrews last month: the spacious acoustic of the venue combined with new instruments and expanded amplification technology allowed us to make significant musical progress. An attentive audience of over 30 responded with interest and enthusiasm. (Thanks to Carla Coulthard for some very fine photos).
