Episode #3024
Daniel Figgis' Snakes & Ladders
Sunday, April 01, 2012
For this New Sounds, composer and curator Daniel Figgis visits the studio to present megamixes from the Irish showcase for original music and video commissions called Snakes & Ladders: An Entertainment. This multi-media live "happening" has toured Ireland and now makes its way to New York’s Symphony Space. Listen to works by composer Roger Doyle, along with a recording of the cleaning of the Belvedere Theatre, and Uileann pipes with pedals. The music performances run the gamut of disciplines, encompassing musique concrete, piano recital, free-improvisation, avant folk, metal, arena rock, and electronica, all accompanied by new video works.
