Event Description
New Music Dublin in association with Improvised Music Company
Secret duos from New Music Dublin artists
Following Improvised Music Company’s Blind Date Jazz series, In the Dark brings together pairs of improvising musicians from across New Music Dublin’s programme for an exploration of intuition, listening and spontaneity. The twist? Neither musicians nor audience have any idea who is performing.
Unknown, unplanned and unseen—this is an encounter in pure improvised sound, created entirely spontaneously by the artists.
In the Dark begins in blackout, with two musicians who have never met before reaching out through their instruments, conversing without seeing, creating music together in the absence of all other senses.
The lights gradually rise, and they come face to face with their new improvising partner. Does the musical conversation change?
