New Music Dublin 2025: A World in Itself
Kevin Barry Recital Room, National Concert Hall
quiet music ensemble: John Godfrey, Musical Director/electric guitar; Seán Mac Erlaine, clarinets; Roddy O’Keefe, trombone; Yseult Cooper Stockdale, cello ; Dan Bodwell, double bass ; Alexis Nealon, sound engineer.
This concert features four new works by artists celebrated for their unorthodox and experimental engagement with sound. For each work, new sonic resources have been developed, both analogue and digital, creating a rich and complex sound-world to be explored live on stage.
Quiet Music Ensemble is Ireland’s premiere professional group dedicated to experimental and improvised music. Founded in 2009, the group has performed in Ireland, the UK, Germany, Poland and the USA; has been broadcast worldwide; and has released albums with Other Minds, Farpoint Recordings and Diatribe Records. In 2025, QME releases albums with Farpoint and UK label NMC. QME’s expert improvisors create fragile soundscapes, remarkable sonorities painted into pregnant silences, and deep sonic contemplation.
