corto. alto

It's fair to say it has been an intense but rewarding few years for Glasgow producer and multi-instrumentalist Liam Shortall and his corto.alto project . The release of his debut album ‘Bad With Names’ saw him nominated for the 2024 Mercury Music Prize and saw him booked to play hundreds of shows across the world, including high-profile festival performances and a sold-out UK tour that featured Glasgow’s legendary Barrowlands Ballroom.

corto.alto's music is never easily categorised. It incorporates an eclectic mix of influences that draw as much on his affinity with club-culture and all its forms of Electronic Music, or to his love of classic Hip-Hop, Soul and Funk. Exploring the fertile ground between live instrumentation and electronic productions , the band's live shows have been known to be some of the best out there.
