NMD 2022: Landscape Series featuring 'Burrenscapes' by Óscar Mascareñas
Room 103, National Concert Hall
Irene Murphy; Natalia Beylis; Óscar Mascareñas.
The Landscape Series is a new collection inviting the listener on an immersive journey through the new sonics of time and place. Irene Murphy’s Not just Rivers is created with a sculptural sonic instrument made from dislocating elements of the built landscape as a study of the Gearagh River delta. Óscar Mascareñas’ Burrenscapes is a collection of experiences and sonic impressions of the Burren in Co. Clare. He writes “the vast, barren and breath-taking landscapes have become a second home for me in the past number of years. With this series of poetic sound essays, I pay homage to those places, their inhabitants – humans, flora and fauna – and their utterly indescribable, otherworldly and extraordinary beauty.” Natalia Beylis’ Prophecy of the Beetle is a study of trees from the folklore of ancient woodlands to the solastalgia of modern forestry, using the patterns and textures of beetle-gnawed bark as graphic scores for new works for organ and multi-channel tape.
