DOWN: Ailis Ni Riain collaborates with visual artist Nicola Dale

Composer Ailís Ní Ríain’s new project, DOWN, is a collaboration with the talented visual artist Nicola Dale.  A striking and highly original work, DOWN is a site specific installation set in an old accumulator tower at Edge Hill Train Station and comprises 12,000 hand cut feathers enhanced with Ailís' music for birds, aeolian harp and guitar. If you are in the Liverpool area you can visit DOWN from 15 September to 23 October 2010, at METAL, Liverpool as part of the Liverpool Biennial show 'Dream Machine'.
