Elbow Room explores the psychogeography of cities: how we affect the city and how the city affects us. Through instrumental performance, location recordings and video, the piece tells the story of the mid-twentieth century plan to demolish the city of Glasgow and replace it with a futuristic concrete utopia. The video incorporates extracts from the films Glasgow Today and Tomorrow (1949, directed by Erica Masters) and Glasgow 1980 (1971, directed by Oscar Marzaroli) in addition to new footage filmed in 2014.

Elbow Room was the culmination of an 18 month residency with Red Note as part of Sound and Music's Embedded scheme.
