David McCann cello
Irish electroacoustic music ensemble Electric Circus presents new works from four composers, commissioned for its 8-channel speaker array. Each of these new works – by Brona Martin, Ailís Ní Ríain, Linda O’Keeffe and Amble Skuse – take shape as forms of ‘nearness, closeness, proximity’ (‘Gaireacht’ in Irish) to technological transformation.
These transformations create metaphorical and real-world representations of sonic material, exploring possible hybrid futures, where our technological transformation is embedded within our natural world. The works create resonance and atmosphere through a combination of sound and space.
As part of hcmf// 2024.
