Welcome

We promote and provide a platform for Irish artists through a shared philosophy of peace, hard work and creativity.
Human Music offers the complete event management package. From indoor to outdoor events, we have experience designing, promoting and running unique events tailored to the clients needs.
We offer fresh solutions to private and corporate events in all areas of event management. If it's simply advice, we are here to lend a hand and energy to your project.
Our team is a collective of young creative and specialist people. What ever shape your event takes, we can offer a range of services to you.

Lighting up your night
Lighting is the key part to aesthetics, it sets mood, atmosphere and can transform any location.
From lighting a small fixture to lighting an entire building, we have developed a range of different techniques and solutions to light up your night.
Live Music
We offer the very best selection of live bands including; Jazz, Blues, Soul, Funk, Rock, Traditional, Classical, bluegrass, gospel choirs, signer songwriters, show bands, even bands that are currently on the Irish music scene.

We can also provide all technical equipment your DJ needs to keep your party in full swing.
Concept Design
Every event or project starts with a concept. This is the very fabric that holds together any show or gathering.
It is most important to us that each concept is developed consistently & pacifically to suit the client's wishes and ideals.
To build the right concept, we need to have a chat and photograph the intended space if possible.
From here we can work to build a clearer picture and structure from which each event can take shape. This is the most exciting process for us because it's usually the most personal and creative moment in any project.
Helping Hands
Supporting these concepts are the friendly hands that build them.
We are proud to be able to provide dedicated professional crew for any part of your event including;
Production
Rigging
Sound Engineers
Lighting Technicians

Art
With enough time, care and planning anything can be done.
Human Music is built on art and creativity. We believe in supporting this ethos wherever we can.
We can provide exhibition space and content for private and public viewing.
We are doing everything in our power to promote Irish artists such as painters, film makers, graphic designers, musicians, photographers, poets, writers, fashion designers and cultural festival production.
This is the single most important thing in our company.
Graphic Design
Our in house design team can tailor classical or fresh custom designs. We can design invitations, flyers, posters, business cards, logos, leaflets, banners, brochures, web graphics, E-flyers, projection graphics & more.
We also offer printing; you will find our prices are extremely competitive to anywhere else in the city. Just get in touch with your event information and we will take care of it for you.
Custom Visual Displays
Our in house design team can design company logos, creative motion visuals, short films, backgrounds or photo displays of friends and family for special occasions.
These displays can be viewed on plasma or projector screens, which is an excellent way to captivate your guests.
Giving back to the community
Underling everything we do, it is our way to support and promote Irish charities.
Human Music firmly believes that we can help the people around us and have the responsibility to do so. No matter what it takes, if we can lend a hand we will.
We wish to educate people at our events about pressing issues at home and around the world. People should be made aware of the issues that will affect them in the future.
In the past a handful of groups asked for our help with their charity events and we were more than glad to help out. We have worked with;
Focus Ireland
Barnardos
Dublin Simon Community
The Human Rights Torch Relay
St Francis Hospice
Irish Cancer Society
Suas Educational Development

Its been a while and we thought it was about time we updated you on what we've been up to. Our debut EP Little World is now available at our gigs and will soon be available from our myspace and facebook pages, you will also be able to download it from itunes, but we don't have a release date for this as yet.
To celebrate the fact that we have now reached 25,000 plays on myspace, we are giving you a free MP3 of Rockabye Baby. All you have to do is send your email address to queen.elvis@yahoo.ie and we will send it to you.
We have spent the last year rehearsing with a full band and are now ready to bring it on the road. You can get a look at us when we appear on Balcony TV this week with the full line up. We are currently taking bookings for gigs/concerts/festivals and can be contacted on the email above, or through our myspace and facebook pages.
Thankyou for your continued support in what has been a great year for us!
Best Wishes
Caroline and Colin

... the sky is clearing, tender sunrays strike one's skin again, the air is fresh and clean and sometimes one can even watch a rainbow.
This situation represents pretty much the musical atmosphere of Krama's second album: Mighty bass structures form a clean and solid foundation, on which sunny melodies swash out of trancy depths, accompanied by forcing rhythm structures. Since 2001, Dimitris Violitzis and Elias Garanis from Greece have constantly developed their very own definition of Power Progressive Trance.
The epic flow of their music is inspired by their musical background, which includes minimal Progressive Trance on the one hand but also classical and Celtic music, New Age sounds and even some Metal.
The intense effectiveness of Krama's tunes could already been witnessed on many different Progressive floors where the two dudes always delivered excellent shows.
