LARA GALLAGHER: DÚN LAOGHAIRE-RATHDOWN COUNCIL COUNCIL AND MUSIC NETWORK MUSICIAN-IN-RESIDENCE 2019

Composer, sound designer and multi-instrumentalist Lara Gallagher’s residency will focus on the creation of a number of improvisational pieces exploring the nature of sounds present in Booterstown. Lara is interested in the different ways we perceive sounds, and her performance and compositional work will embrace the fascinating sonic clash created when an acoustic instrument like the saxophone is merged with a digital sound-world. The pieces created will ask us to consider if, in an ever-changing world where busyness and technological advancements numb our emotional responses, we ever fully appreciate the beauty of our surrounding environments. This performance will showcase the work produced during Lara's residency.
