Matthew Studdert-Kennedy

Matthew Studdert-Kennedy is a flutist associated with the Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra, a large ensemble devoted to collective improvisation and the exploration of orchestral forms outside conventional scores. His participation is documented on Poetics, the Creative Sources release CS114.

Poetics brings together an unusually wide instrumental palette — woodwinds, strings, brass, percussion and voices — including the two flutists Studdert-Kennedy and Emma Roche. The recording was made at the Centre for Contemporary Arts in Glasgow on 3 June 2007. This ensemble context, rather than an unverified solo biography, provides the documented basis for his appearance in the Creative Sources catalogue.
