We invite you to wander and explore four of the world’s most fascinating and remote environments: The Arctic, Amazon, Australian Outback and Deserts in the world premier of a new multi-roomed composition created by Cork based-composer, Karen Power, (June 19-22). Featuring a mixed media durational performance with musicians, Quiet Music Ensemble; vocalists, Ute Wassermann and Michelle O’Rourke; and Ireland’s first ever Sound Choir: Katie O’Neill, Noelle O’Regan, Rose Roccaforte, Wendy Goodbody, Jacques de Fournas, Daithi O’Reilly, Brian Sheehan, Caroline McGrath, Elaine Howley & Aoife Spillane. Imagery by John Godfrey.

Using specialised field recordings from some of the world’s most inhuman environments, this performance explores the possibilities of how, through hearing natural sound structures and harmonies, we can potentially rediscover the evolutionary parallels between humans, nature and animals.

Just listen…
