Sonic Vigil 6
Sonic Vigil is Ireland’s premier sound art/ improvisation event and this year it takes place on 22nd Oct in Christchurch Triskel Cork. The event is curated by The Quiet Club and Gurenrekorder (Germany) and this is the sixth running of the event. Whilst the event has become synonymous with St Fin Barr’s Cathedral the organisers continue their policy of pushing the boundaries of sound and listening have changed the venue to explore the sonic possibilities of Triskel’s new Christchurch space.
This space has been hailed as one of the best acoustic spaces in the country and Sonic Vigil has been programmed to exploit this to the full. Acts are coming from all over Ireland and Europe for the event. A special feature of this year’s event will be video and live projections by video artist Claire Guerin. The event which is scheduled to run for over seven hours and the audience are invited to come and go as they please.
A highlight of the event will be the launch of a recording and film of last year’s event. This will be in the unique format of a USB key in the shape of a cassette tape containing both the audio and film of last year’s spectacular event.
