« previous episode | next episode »

Friday, March 14, 2008

For this New Sounds, we'll take a look at the Irish new music scene, with composers Daniel Figgis and Roger Doyle. Doyle is a former jazz-rock drummer, and writes electro-acoustic and electronic music. Multi-instrumentalist Daniel Figgis is a former member of Virgin Prunes, and an ambient electronic composer of multi-media works, most recently, "Post-Production," as heard on the New Sounds Live concert series. On March 16 & 17, 2008, Figgis is curating a festival of new works by contemporary Irish composers at the World Financial Center, focusing on works created with emerging audio technologies, and featuring over a dozen artists, including Roger Doyle, Brian O hUigin and the world premiere commission of Daniel Figgis' "PHOTO-FINISH (with shortcuts.)"
