Counterflows is a live music festival based in Glasgow that celebrates different types of marginal musics from the UK and around the world. We use the terms ‘experimental music’, ‘underground music’ and music that denies easy categorisation, but the programme takes in various forms of music, including folk music, electronic music, punk, jazz, hip-hop, musique concrete, dance music, classical music and more.
The festival features a wide array of artists bound together by their questioning spirit and refusal of easy categorisation. Whether born out of the likes of so-called DIY scenes, the internet or geographically remote communities, we believe that the underground belongs to a myriad of voices and is best engaged with when we come together, share ideas, break down borders, challenge hierarchies and push boundaries.
A temporary online space featuring new works by a host of local and international artists working across sound, film, text, illustration and at new intersections between.
