Event Description
Shane Latimer (solo)
Shane Latimer is an acclaimed musician, composer and curator of improvisational and experimental music from Dublin, Ireland. He plays six, seven and eight string guitars, synthesizers and improvises with various preparations and electronic processing.
As guitarist/composer with free jazz electronic quartet OKO (“a revelation” - The Sunday Times) and or as curator with the Bottlenote Festival (“a no-holds-barred celebration of beautiful noise” - The Irish Times) Shane’s work is at the cutting edge of creative and technical exploration in modern music making.
His latest solo work exists in the space between the natural and the technological. Shane uses software to harvest sound from his extended range guitar to feed an assemblage of electronic hardware. The result is a captivating dialogue between man and machine.
Rainfear (David Donohoe/David Lacey)
Intuitive duo music performed on FM synths and drumset, their sound runs the gamut from visceral high-energy barrage to spacious minutiae and silence.
“The rapport between these two players, as they coursed through intensities too wild to be contained by line or metre, was like witnessing the birth of some new symbiont, all limbs.”-The Quietus
David Donohoe: With releases on Mille Plateaux, Force-Inc, Fällt, and a string of critically acclaimed 12s and two albums on Dublin’s ground-breaking D1 label, David’s focus in recent years has been on solo extemporisation, live performance soundtracks, and several collaborative improvisation projects including Rainfear and String Machine (with Eamonn Doyle, Donal Lunny and Stefan Mathieu). He is interested in music as a response to the immediate moment.
David Lacey is a musician from Dublin, working at the intersection between improvisation and composition. He uses percussion, objects, field recordings, cassettes and crude electronics, as well as making studio constructions. He has performed and recorded with musicians such as Rhodri Davies, Keith Rowe, Annette Krebs and Derek Bailey. Current projects include Rainfear (with David Donohoe), duo collaborations with Patrick Farmer & Andrew Fogarty and the Reception concert series, which he organises with composers Rob Casey & Conal Ryan. He has been featured on releases from labels such as Another Timbre, Caduc, Confront, Copy for your Records, Fort Evil Fruit & Room Temperature.
