In 2003 Thomas Riedelsheimer asked English experimental musician Fred Frith to perform with Glennie in Riedelsheimer’s new film, Touch the Sound. Frith had previously worked with Riedelsheimer on the soundtrack for his 2001 documentary, Rivers and Tides. Frith and Glennie performed in an abandoned sugar factory in Dormagen, Germany. This was the first time that Frith and Glennie had worked together, and their entire performance was improvised.
Since The Sugar Factory sessions, Frith and Glennie have performed live together on several occasions. Frith said that “A language is developing between us, and every concert brings new discoveries.”
