The Quiet Club and crOw, two of Ireland’s most innovative improvising duos, are touring together as a quartet for the first time.
In December 2015 Ireland’s leading sound art collective The Quiet Club joined forces with crOw, one of the country’s most innovative improvising duos, to make a CD recording called ‘As the quiet crow flies’. This CD was released on Farpoint Recordings in summer 2016 (This is a great work of improvised music from a more unusual perspective - Frans de Waard, Vital Weekly) and, having enjoyed working together so much, the two duos agreed that
performing as a quartet in a tour around the country is something we wanted to do.
Having made a successful application to the Arts Council for a Touring Award, the two duos will perform together in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Waterford and Carrick-on-Shannon
between February 28th and March 23rd this year.
The Quiet Club is an internationally-acclaimed duo consisting of Danny McCarthy and Mick O’Shea, who use a range of analogue and digital electronic devices to produce sound art of great beauty and subtlety. crOw is an improvising duo incorporating saxophonist Cathal Roche and Ian Wilson on laptop, e-guitar and sound objects - this duo has a particularinterest in spatializing sound and responding to acoustic and architectural properties of the
spaces it performs in; audiences are invited to wander around during performances. When the two duos perform together, the result is a unique combination of influences and
approaches; naturally, every tour performance will be different and tailored to a particular venue and audience.
