November 2008
We are travelling about Ireland in November with some really
exciting programmes. Benedict Schlepper-Connolly is working on a new
commission, we will also be revisiting some familiar works such as
Linda Buckley’s Nikuda and Donnacha Dennehy’s Glamour Sleeper. We
have also commissioned German/English composer, Claudia Molitor to
write a piece for us. The tour will feature the funky New York
Counterpoint by Steve Reich and the wittily ironic Case History by
Roderick de Man.
Of course
we wouldn't be ourselves without some rather unusual video and
choreographic work which really adds a musical sauce to our
programming. So do check it out!

Musée des Beaux-Arts at Nimes have invited ensemble Scratch the
Surface to curate a performance for the World Music Day -
Fête de la Musique. The ensemble has commissioned composers from
several European nations to respond to the recent installation and
intervention at the museum, Tête-à-Tête , through the medium of
sound, music and its relations to visual forms. The evening promises
to be a truly international affair.

May 15th
The
Aesthetics of Failure -
The
performance draws upon a collection of works dating from the 1960s
to the present day which expose the inherent fallibilities of modern
technology and performance practices. Included in the programme will
be the infamous Failing, a very difficult piece for Double
Bass performed by Corrado Canonici. Steve Reich's Pendulum Music
aesthetises the 'error' of feedback, whilst performances of rattling
snares, broken computer scanners, hybrid radio-organs, prepared
piano and six channel live cello demonstrate the creative potential
of interference patterns, noise, twisted electric circuits and
magnetic fields.
