This concert shines light on a number of different
perspectives of contemporary music. From the cult of
intensity in John Coltrane’s music, to which The Trane
Thing is an hommage, to the use of  concrète sources
in Traffic, a tribute, perhaps, to the soundscape of
our capital city. It is of course one of the many
attributes of modern art to try and connect us with
what happens (or has happened) around us. Ian
Brabazon’s Fathom, tries to tell a tale that is too
familiar to many of us. In his own words, “in the
floods of 2000, the machine lay half a fathom under
the water”. Storytelling is also another aspect of the
pieces presented in this concert. Stories of the
workplace, perhaps, in Cantiña (The Refectory), where
a slightly paranoid employee cannot get to grips with
the sonic reality around him. Stories of a journey, an
internal one, in Barbara Dunne’s Brain on a Train.
Stories to be enacted, mini-dramas, written by the
surrealist poet Paul Éluard, in Trois Poémes. Above
all, this concert is about sound and the enjoyment of
its nuances and textures. Something that can be
appreciated in tape pieces such as The PGP, with its
layers of synthesized sound, and piece.orc, where
clouds of computer-processed envelope velvet-like
tunes from a solitary cello. Other instrument-machine
duets such as that one are also the main focus of two
other pieces, onik and Strings Entwined. Sometimes
competitive, sometimes collaborative, the relationship
between instrumental and electronic sound is always
musically compelling, when carefully set up.
