DYAD installation in Pallas Studios, Smithfield, 2-4 September

A while back multidisciplinary artist Dáinne Nic Aoidh got in touch with me about collaborating on an installation. It opens tomorrow in Pallas Contemporary Projects, Smithfield. I've rigged small electronic audio circuits to 2 moving pieces and prepared some bass feedback and zither tones to complement the installation. I'll have video of the results in a couple of days which will give you a better idea of what it is I am talking about...

Gig in Twisted Pepper 18-09-10

Saturday night in Twisted Pepper...nice line-up, with myself, Anodyne and Redmonk in the ground floor live room, Redshape and Barry Redsettaz downstairs. I'm going to be be playing a fairly wonked up techno set for this one...more details about the other acts playing can be found here.

Gigs

Two gigs coming up in the next few weeks: on the 24th July at this:

SSTN associates A4 Sounds are putting on a fundraiser gig in The Cavern (The Good Bits, 1 Store St., Dublin 1) on Saturday 24th July. The art group have been asked to fill an empty shop unit in Tuam Shopping Center, Tuam, Co. Galway as part of the Earwig! Tuam Arts Festival in August. Being an artist-run collective, and being that most of the members are forever broke, they are exchanging techno for cash!

Proceeds will go towards making the show something to remember for all at the festival, and the line up promises to deliver heavy and in places off-kilter styles of the people's number one* party music: techno!

I'm working on a more techno-based liveset that should do the job of making people jump around and spill beer all over themselves.

As well as that I was asked to play at the Jigs 'n' Rigs festival on Rathlin Island , which definitely calls for minimal noodling and maximal groove! I might also be playing an ambient/noise set before things get going again one of the days, but we'll see how it goes.

Immediately after that I'll be working with visualist Kavi on an audio-visual project involving a lot of messing around with Open Sound Control, Flash and Max for Live, and immediately after that I'll be off to Tuam to play a gig and be around to help out at the A4 Corp opening. Busy few weeks ahead in other words!

See the sound, hear the image

These are some of the results of a couple of days work with audio-image conversion, editing, reassembling, and reconverting. Where there is a Soundcloud player the image above is what made the sound, or vice versa. I'm working on a way to make pictures that will make "nicer" sounds than these examples, which are pretty hard going. Still though, I'm now in possession of over 3 hour's worth of new audio which will become the basis for more sound design.

More things like this coming soon...

We got the chance to make loads of noise over a couple of World Cup games in The Shed art space in Dublin last week. Here's the second match, where myself, Fionn, Amanda Feery, Niamh de Barra and Gavin Prior were using an assortment of noise making devices. I had made a couple of vuvuzela inspired instruments out of uileann pipe double reeds, plastic pipe and oil funnels, and used 2 box zithers and feedback processes. Niamh was on cello, Amanda on harmonium and clarinet, Gavin on amplified cutlery stands, melodica and feedback, and Fionn used his fancy new mixer, a deck, drum machine, and a load of pedals.

Nobody came the first day except for Niamh and Shane McKenna (whose graphic score we played on Monday), and the next day wasn't much better. It was a lot of fun though, a nice space, plenty of room and with the FYED soundsystem everything was sounding good (and delicious vegan food afterwards). Audio-visuals all the way...

FYED jam 12-06-10

World Cup Song # 1 by FYED

Something we recorded over the weekend, starts of sparse develops into a sharp noisescape and sounds pretty cool I think!
