I grew up surrounded by music. My earliest memories are connected to listening and dancing to drums. My parents are percussionists. I as well love to experiment with rhythms. I learnt to play the violin as a kid and then switched to guitar, which I still play today. Growing up in Berlin I got in touch with the electronic music scene. When I was 16 I started mixing and even had a few gigs at that time. At some point I got bored of playing other people’s music, and so I began to create my own.
Music is my coping strategy. It’s my cure for a broken heart.

Growing up in a huge, crowded and diverse city gave me a lot of sounds and movements that inspire me to this date to create grooves and shaped my interest for a high variety of music styles.

this is my diary; an audible experience. the tracks i make do not follow any conventional methods but rather to the best of my knowledge and experience. each track acts as a reflection to my emotional state at a point in time and space.

Limitation can be a creative force in a world where anything is possible, and for a young Liam Shortall, that pool of influence & opportunity was as diverse as any. Born in Glasgow and surrounded by music from a young age, he gravitated initially towards instrumental music, picking up the trombone, learning his jazz chops, and listening to the big band, blues, and ska sounds of his family home. A tendency to self-deprecation is a way that Glasgow has impressed itself on Shortall, albeit one which at times tipped over into self-criticism. Nowhere is that struggle & vulnerability more present than on his debut album Bad With Names. As much as Bad With Names showcases some of Glasgow’s finest, it's also the most complete statement of the corto.alto sound to date, a riptide demonstration of his multi-instrumental abilities ( trombone, guitar, bass, synths, programming, tuba, percussion), punchy improvisation and subtle electronic production that has stitched it all back together again.
