Written for New Sounds Live, Irish composer Daniel Figgis’ “Post-Production” is his first major work in the United States and a world premiere. This work’s narrative can be interpreted as a bucolic meditation on the “cityscape,” whether it be New York City, Figgis’ Dublin, Sao Paolo, Beijing, or any other city. In fact, the work is number seven in a series of monumental site-specific events. Composed as a 23-section instrumental song cycle, and accompanied by video projections, “Post-Production” is performed by Figgis’ new ensemble featuring site-specific, re-processed pre-recordings, laptop, guitar, electric viola, flute, and Hammond organ.
Composer and inter-media impresario, Figgis is best known in the UK for his acclaimed album Skipper, re-released in 2003 by Rough Trade Records Black Burst imprint. While his work is wide-ranging, Figgis’ most recent projects have been ambitious site-specific events such as "Daniel Figgis’ MOTOR" for the Kilkenny Arts Festival and "Daniel Figgis’ TAMPER" at the Dublin Fringe Festival. Forthcoming in 2006, "Daniel Figgis’ THE BANQUET" - a multi-media opera for FUSED Festival Dublin. As a philosophy graduate, iconoclastic AV installation artist, film soundtrack composer, sampling-innovator, ex-child actor, and curator, Daniel Figgis simply defies both expectation and description.
