Another innovative concept from Drogheda Arts Festival – an opportunity to experience the full range of the latest ideas in sonic arts, electroacoustic music and electronica, all in the one building, all in the one day.
Sonic Art :- The cutting edge of the exploratory use of electroacoustics, created sound, found sound and often visuals, to create a powerful new performance genre. The Sonic Abyss presents a dazzling array of some of the leading figures in this movement as they perform 20 minute sets throughout the day – Ed Devane, Vicky Langan, Harry Moore, Mick O’Shea & Danny McCarthy (The Quiet Club), Sean Taylor & Mikael Fernström (Softday), John Daly, Jesse Ronneau, Robin Parmar, Dave Stalling & Anthony Kelly, Cormac Crawley, Hilary Mullaney.
Electronic Music :- Live performance from some of the leading composers in this genre and also fixed installations using 8-channel set up and audio-visual. A special set of performances of a selection of experimental electronic music will be presented by the students of the Department of Music and Creative Media at DKIT.
Electronica :- The latest techniques, sounds and concepts presented and performed by leading DJs and Sound Mixers all day in the Dance Studio. Demonstrations of techniques and advice on hardware and software.
Workshops and Open Forums :- Hands-on workshops and discussion groups. Come along and try your hand at mixing some electronic music. Open to all ages.
