The Nexus Project


An innovative exploration of contemporary and ancient Highland Bagpipe music through original compositions and arrangements by Bede Patterson. The Nexus Project surveys the inextricable links between early and modern bagpipe performance and repertoire.

As Glasgow’s ‘fusion music’ scene continues to thrive, this project is an exciting addition to the cross-genre environment - a genuine intersection of jazz, classical, and traditional folk music styles. Patterson’s diverse compositional influences encompass the works of Phillip Glass, Simon Jeffes, Steve Reich, Matthew Welch, Fraser Fifield and many more.
This collaborative work features the creative and experimental contributions of Bede Patterson (bagpipes), Dean Garrity (soprano saxophone), and Ewan Johnston (piano).
