In August 2020 as part of Michael Begg’s residency at Edinburgh’s Queen’s Hall, a special collaborative performance had been due to happen between Begg and legendary figure of the European electronic music scene, Hans Joachim Roedelius. Lockdown forced their collaboration to evolve remotely and has resulted in the release, Two Gather In The Waiting Room. The result is a beautiful fusion of their individual signature sounds, and a movingly evocative, and unexpectedly positive portrait of artistic life in lockdown.
