Corto.alto at Turner Sims

About

A heady mix of improvisation, electronic production, broken beat bounce and bass-heavy dub.

corto.alto is the moniker of Glasgow-based Liam Shortall - a Scottish composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist. His debut album Bad with Names was released in 2023.

Shortall cut his teeth playing trombone in Scottish National Jazz Orchestra and making beats in his bedroom. He is proud of his Glaswegian upbringing and Irish-Spanish heritage. His renegade sound is a constant push-and-pull of bravado and vulnerability.
