‘Capturing Sound’ which was commissioned by Larissa O’Grady with funds from the Arts Council of Ireland will feature on the new album released on Farpoint Recordings.
CD launch at Contemporary Music Centre, Thursday 7th November, 6 – 8pm – All welcome!
A programme of new music composed by a collection of 6 Irish composers including David Bremner, Jenn Kirby, Judith Ring, Anselm McDonnell, Robert Coleman, Fiona Linnane
This project came into existence as part of the Contemporary Artists Network, established by the Contemporary Music Centre, which pairs composers and performers interested in engaging with contemporary music from Ireland as artistic partners. As part of this Network, in 2022 Larissa O’Grady commissioned 6 new works for violin and electronics/multimedia by a group of 6 composers from Ireland, collaborating to explore the possibilities of new sounds, which culminated in a public performance of the commissioned works for violin and multimedia. These commissions were generously supported by Arts Council Ireland.
Featuring a wide range of presentations from spoken word to sensor led playback, live and fixed electronics, microtonal writing conveying the chemical process of burning sugar, and a live field recordist recording and playing back the violin and sounds of a greater spotted woodpecker.
