"[His] pieces are highly original, creative, packed with incident and show a determination to avoid any hint of the clichéd or the safe. " The Irish Times
Winner of 'Best Young Irish Artist Award' at Cork Jazz Festival 2008 saxophonist Seán Óg is firmly placed as one of the country's most interesting and engaging improvising musicians. Developing a very personal voice on saxophone and bass clarinet as well as invented instruments and electronics he has plotted his own path along the fault lines between free improvisation, avant-garde composition and contemporary jazz. Although highly active with a number of projects including Trihornophone, Morla, Kaum Quartet, Bottlenote and a raft of interdisciplinary work, solo saxophone remains at the core of Seán's work. This performance sees him teasing apart his own compositions and creating new music drawing on a bank of extended techniques, in-the-moment musicality and impassioned improvisation.
A key figure in the underground and improvised music scene in Dublin for the last decade, Fergus Cullen currently plays guitar and clarinet with Electronic Sensoria Band. Releasing records on the Last of our Kind label as well as Deserted Village and Ninepoint, he incessantly pushes the boundaries and challenges the conventions of modern music.
Gavin Duffy plays bass guitar, trumpet and sings in Dublin duo Thread Pulls. He also co-runs Ninepoint records. Since 2004 he has released numerous acclaimed records and toured internationally with both Thread Pulls and Cap Pas Cap. More recently he has embarked on collaborative improvised live performances blending delayed and acoustic trumpet drones and squalls with the irregular motorik of looped and effected percussion.
Karl Burke is an interdisciplinary artist and active musician whose practice includes sculpture, sound, installation works, photography and film. Under the name Karl Him, his critically acclaimed debut album Electronic Lament was released on the Spitroast label in 2002. Live, effected guitar and percussive instruments combine to form a tapestry of multi-layered echoes and sonic swells
Iarla O'Lionáird has become known as the ethereal voice of the Afro-Celt Soundsystem. Yet with his latest project, he looks set to launch a solo career of groundbreaking innovation. His last project and album Invisible Fields melds the ancient echoes of sean-nós with the future sounds of today’s sonic explorers. Iarla O’Lionáird has also released two other acclaimed solo albums, The Seven Steps To Mercy and I Could Read The Sky.
