XpoNorth Podcast #008 – Award winning music producer, Giles Perring of Sound of Jura, talks collaborations
Giles Perring is a musician, composer and producer who runs the Sound of Jura studio based on the Isle of Jura off the coast of Argyll. Giles is a musical maverick who has involved creative collaboration in his music through remote participation technology, mostly using the humble telephone. Giles’s ever-evolving piece The Exchange was the feature of an XpoNorth Spotlight in April 2020. That performance was the highlight of the launch event for the Cultural, Heritage and Arts Assembly of Argyll and the Isles, or CHARTS, which took place in St John’s Cathedral in Oban with a live link from Giles’s studio in Jura and contributions from musicians from all over the world. Dougal collaborated with Giles to make that project possible and speaks to him in this episode of the XpoNorth Podcast about how he got into making music, how collaboration and remote participation feature in his work and his perspective on remote working during the coronavirus crisis.
