Ed Bennett on his work, 'Song of the Books'

Ed Bennett talks to CMC about his work, Song of the Books, a work for cello, ensemble and electronics which is based on material from the traditional Irish tune ‘Amhrán na Leabhar’. The work was written for cellist Kate Ellis, Decibel and Crash Ensemble, who give the Irish premiere of the work as part of the Kilkenny Arts Festival on 16 August 2019.

 

Watch the premiere of the work performed by Kate Ellis and Decibel, recorded last April at Cafe Oto, London.
