Percy Grainger Society Talk: GlossGlide
2026-03-19 20:00 - 21:00 | Online via Zoom
GlossGlide is an exploratory sound project inspired by the ideas, materials, and creative ethos of Percy Grainger. It is the work of an autistic practitioner, developed through sustained individual practice and reflection.

The project brings together sound, interaction, and accessibility to explore what it might mean to engage with musical materials through continuous change, attention, and play.

GlossGlide is deliberately experimental. It is concerned as much with process as with product, and with creating conditions for listening and interaction that are open-ended, calm, and low-pressure. Users are not asked to achieve anything, and are free to pause, repeat, drift, or leave at any point.

Join host Paul Jackson, with GlossGlide developer Andrew Hugill, as they explore the new site, its design philosophy, and the ways in which it is informed by Grainger’s radical approach to music making and music composition.
