I am teaming up once again with Alison “Little” Forbes – this time for the Sonic Dreams Festival<\/a> in Water<\/strong>ford towards the end of September. In advance of the festival, for World Listening Day (of which the theme this year is water<\/strong>) on Saturday the 18th of July, Mick “Mixile” Shanahan is organizing a day of activities with the Hive Gallery<\/a> in Waterford as a hub.<\/p>\n

There will be a sound walk where participants are encouraged to make recordings, talks by Mixile on field recording and by myself on recording “found instruments”, a workshop to review the recorded sounds, and a concert in the evening with Mixile playing music made from the day’s recordings and Little and I playing Water<\/strong>phones. Genuine Waterphones are about as rare as genuine Stradivari instruments. An opportunity to experience two of them in one ensemble is quite uncommon.<\/p>\n

The concert will finish early enough for participants in the day’s activities to engage in other Saturday night entertainment … and for our friends in Cork who may wish to come and support us to catch the last bus home.<\/p>\n

We would like to do it all for free, but using the Hive Gallery requires that you should make a small donation\u00a0 – perhaps about 5.00 Euro for the day. Mixile is going to make an “official” announcement on Facebook.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
