Glaswegian prodigious multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer corto.alto<\/a> took us by storm last year with his debut album\u00a0Bad With Names<\/em>, which was one of our Album Picks of the Year<\/a>. Liam Shortall, the trombone wizard at the helm of the project, has today unveiled an ambitious project. Entitled 30\/108<\/em>, it will see him release 30 tracks in 30 days through Bridge The Gap x New Soil<\/a>. Liam explains how the project came about:<\/p>\n

“After an intense 2 years of creating \u2019Bad With Names\u2019 I was slightly burned out but excited to get back to writing new music. Once that album was finally finished, I knew I had 6 months of promotion before the album was released. During this time I produced 108 new demo ideas. Fast forward to the beginning of 2024, I had 108 ideas in a folder on my laptop that I knew if I didn\u2019t finish they would never be heard by anyone – I then decided to dedicate the following 4 months to finishing 30 of these tracks; recording with some of my favourite musicians.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Some of the musicians who collaborated with Liam on the project include Graham Costello (drums), Fergus McCreadie (piano) and Mateusz Sobieski (tenor saxophone).<\/p>\n

The treasure chest that is 30\/108<\/em> is unlocked today with lead single \u2018Chubbby (48)\u2019. Check it out below and be sure to stay tuned over the next 30 days for a fresh tune dropping every day!<\/p>\n
