DIAL (Chapter 5: May) live at Kirkos

Join us on Thursday 1 May 2025 at the brand new Kirkos venue in central Dublin (1 Little Green Street, Dublin 7) for a 60 minute performance from Chapter 5: May of my durational writing project DIAL , with sonic interventions from Joanna Mattrey , Nick Roth and Keith Lindsay . A live, semi-improvised cross-disciplinary collaboration  featuring spoken text, viola, saxophone, and electronics with live radio feedback & looped sounds. DIAL is a durational-procedural-aleatory work of poetic prose I composed through real-time, automatic transcriptions of spoken language from a different radio station broadcasting anywhere in the world, performed each and every day over the entire calendar year 2021 and linked seamlessly with short pieces of 'original' text I wrote contemporaneously. The composition of DIAL was enabled by a PLATFORM 31 award . Kirkos is an experimental music ensemble & DIY venue/rehearsal space and artist studios. Doors 7.30pm / Performance 8pm ...
