    Nurse With Wound open DEAF this year at Andrews Lane on Thursday 23rd October. Tickets on sale now www.tickets.ie [Limited capacity as this is a seated event.]

    Nurse With Wound (formed in 1978) is the main recording vehicle of British musician Steven Stapleton (currently living in County Clare, Ireland).

    Nurse With Wound has been Stapleton’s main musical outlet for some 30 years. He has also appeared on records by other artists and worked as a producer and remixer. As well as his musical output Stapleton is a highly accomplished and critically acclaimed painter and sculptor often working under the guise of ‘Babs Santini’.

    There are now over 40 full-length NWW titles. Stapleton’s eclectic tastes in art, film and music is often reflected in the broad and often unpredictable and unlikely music of NWW, the output of which draws directly on nearly every musical genre imaginable yet consistently retains a distinctively and recognizable Nurse With Wound ‘sound’.

    Although Stapleton has sole curatorship of NWW, the group has a long and illustrious list of collaborators including Diana Rogerson, James Thirlwell (Foetus), Colin Potter, Tony Wakeford, David Jackman (Organum), Andrew McKenzie (The Hafler Trio), Stereolab, Jim O’Rourke, Andrew Liles, Sunn O))), William Bennett (Whitehouse), Robert Haigh, Rose McDowall (Strawberry Switchblade), Christoph Heeman, Faust, Annie Anxiety, Jhonn Balance (Coil), Matt Waldron (Irr. App (Ext)) and, most regularly, David Tibet (Current 93).

    In 2005, Nurse With Wound returned to live performance after a 21-year absence. Steven Stapleton, Colin Potter, Matt Waldron, Diana Rogerson and Andrew Liles played three concerts at the Narrenturm in Vienna, where they performed improvisations on the album Salt Marie Celeste. These concerts were not, however, billed as NWW appearances. The first official NWW appearances since 1984 were at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco in June 2006. In December of the same year, the group played at the All Tomorrow’s Parties festival organized by Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore.

    Since 2005 the mainstay live members of Nurse With Wound are Steven Stapleton (voice, bowed and prepared guitar, CD turntables, electronics, sound FX, sundry implements)

    Colin Potter (Mix, electronics, computer, live processing), Matt Waldron (prepared bass, sundry implements, voice, percussion, electronics, tapes, recorded sources) and Andrew Liles (keyboards, sound FX, recorded sources, lead guitar, percussion, sundry implements). NWW have played over 15 shows worldwide and performed full live NWW sets is in Austria, Belgium, France, Barcelona, London, Moscow, Berlin and Venice. Interestingly NWW claim that each live appearance is a rehearsal for the next show and no two shows have ever been the same. The NWW live experience is kept unique by featuring an array of different and ever evolving guest musicians.

    Nurse With Wound and Steven Stapleton continue to be fervently hyperactive with a ceaseless zest for breaking new horizons both visually and sonically.

    Just released is “Huffin’ Rag Blues” on United Dirter.

    Forthcoming is much speculated Nurse With Wound ‘Rap’ album plus an assortment of live work and studio collaborations.

    Louth Contemporary Music Society (LCMS) will host a major celebration of the work of Sir John Tavener in its Temenos Festival from Friday 24 to Sunday 26 October 2008 in venues in Louth Ireland.

    Festival highlights include the first Irish performance by Anonymous 4 with the Irish string quartet Rothko 4, the Ulster Orchestra conducted by Tõnu Kaljuste performing the Protecting Veil with Marta Sudraba,a world premiere of John Tavener’s O My People. O My People is a moving Byzantine text taken from the Service of the Twelve Gospels, celebrated at one o'clock in the morning of Good Friday in the Orthodox Church. O My People will be performed by Polyphony conducted by Stephen Layton, plus Patricia Rozario and the Oriel Trio in Tavener’s Yeat’s influenced work To a Child Dancing in the Wind.
    “Temenos” is a Greek word for sacred space and it is apt that the festival focuses on Tavener who is strongly influenced by sacred and spiritual texts.

    A leading figure in the world of 20th-century British music, Sir John Tavener's choral and orchestral works reflect his deeply spiritual outlook and distinctive musical voice. He is perhaps best known to worldwide audiences for his Song for Athene, which was performed at the funeral of Princess Diana in 1997, his Protecting Veil which was a world wide selling cd, and his vast, 7-hour work, The Veil of the Temple, was featured in the 2004 Lincoln Center Festival.

    Festival Highlights:

    Friday 24 October 2008 : The Ulster Orchestra conducted by Tõnu Kaljuste on in St.Peter's Church of Ireland, Drogheda.


    The Ulster Orchestra conducted by Tõnu Kaljuste will perform for the first time in Drogheda on the 24 Oct 2008 in St.Peter's Church of Ireland. The Ulster Orchestra, Northern Ireland's only full-time symphony orchestra and one of the major orchestras in the United Kingdom, opens John Tavener's Temenos festival.

    The performance by the Ulster Orchestra conducted by the world's most respected conductors Tõnu Kaljuste will undoubtedly be a festival highlight. Kaljuste who was last in Drogheda as conductor of the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir's sold out performance, has gained international fame with his diversified repertoire, and has developed close working relationships with contemporary composers such as Giya Kancheli, Arvo Pärt and Veljo Tormis.

    Latvian cellist Marta Sudraba, will perform the Protecting Veil with the Ulster Orchestra on Friday 24 October 2008. One of Tavener's most famous works, The Protecting Veil for solo cello and string orchestra was commissioned by the BBC in 1989. Perhaps no other piece of modern classical music has caused such a stir since its debut (in the 1989 Proms) as this work has. 'The Protecting Veil' provides an Ikon in music of the mother of God during her life.The piece is profoundly beautiful. Sudraba, one of the best and brightest musicians of her generation, has worked with Gidon Kremer and plays the cello in his Grammy nominated orchestra Kremerata Baltica.

    Irish Chamber Orchestra violinist Ioana Petcu-Colan makes a welcome return to perform Tavener's Dhyana with the Ulster Orchestra.

    The Temenos festival also explores Tavener's deep connection with Irish poet WB Yeats with performances of two Yeats' influenced works. Derry mezzo soprano Doreen Curran, RTE's 1998 Young Singer of the Future and a graduate of the National Opera Studio, will open the festival with a performance of Tavener's Supernatural Songs with the Ulster Orchestra. The songs constitute one of the composer's finest achievements.


    Saturday 25 October 2008 : One of the world's best choirs Polyphony to perform for the first time in St.Patrick's Dundalk

    Whenever you're in the presence of the vocal ensemble Polyphony and their conductor Stephen Layton you begin to understand what authenticity is really about. The Times - March 2008

    One of the world's best choirs, Grammy winner Polyphony will perform in St. Patrick's Dundalk on 25 October 2008 as part of John Tavener's Temenos festival. Polyphony conducted by the exceptional musician Stephen Layton will perform Tavener favourites alongside the world premiere of a new Tavener work O My People. Tavener's music finds devoted interpreters in Polyphony who produce some of the most beautiful choral singing you could ever hope to hear.

    Dundalk audiences are in for a further treat with Patricia Rozario opening the Dundalk concert with Tavener's To A Child Dancing in the Wind. Patricia Rozario's described by Gramophone as possessing a voice of liquid gold regularly performs and records Tavener's work and her performances are considered as definitive by the composer.


    Sunday 26 Oct 2008 : Anonymous 4 make their Irish debut in St.Peter's Church of Ireland

    Often haunting and inspirational, these songs about going to heaven frequently will take you there."Lawson Taitte, Dallas Morning News

    Billboard chart topping American vocal group Anonymous 4 make their Irish debut in St. Peter's Church of Ireland on 26 October 2008. Renowned for their unearthly vocal blend and virtuosic ensemble singing, the four women of Anonymous 4 combine musical, literary, and historical scholarship with contemporary performance intuition as they create ingeniously designed programs of medieval, contemporary, and American music. Anonymous 4 will perform Irish and English early music works alongside works by John Tavener and Arvo Pärt at the Temenos 08 festival.

    The Temenos festival is a major celebration of the music of Sir John Tavener, a leading figure in 20th century contemporary music and best know for his Song for Athene performed at the funeral of Princess Diana in 1997. Sir John Tavener's choral and orchestral works reflect his deeply spiritual outlook and distinctive musical voice.

    The weekend festival organized by Louth Contemporary Music Society (LCMS), runs from 24-26 October 2008 in venues across Louth, Ireland. The Festival will provide an exception opportunity to see major performers brought together for the first time in Ireland.

    Any thoughts as to the venue, what the sound/comfort/facilities are like for this type of event?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,135 ✭✭✭✭John


    I've been there for a few gigs (Matmos, Nurse With Wound, Low, A Place to Bury Strangers) and I like it as a venue. The sound ranges from good to superb (Matmos sounded amazing there) and for me, that's all the matters. There are couches at the back of the venue but it's been all standing every time I've been there. They do have seats (being a theatre) but they never seem to use them for gigs.

    coolio John, thanks for this. Maybe I'll spin up to catch Fennesz then. I normally fly over to London for other Touch artists when they hold the events at the Garden History Museum, a pretty cool venue and you can lie down on a heated floor with surround sound and a glass of wine, which is nice


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,135 ✭✭✭✭John


    OK, it doesn't compare with that at all. I've always been tempted by those events but haven't made the trip yet. I love, love, love Touch so I really should.

    Kronos Quartet and Wu Man perform the Irish premieres of Tan Dun's Ghost Opera and Terry Riley's Cusp of Magic

    13 July 2009 in An Tain Theatre Dundalk, Louth

    €20 from www.centralticketbureau.com

    http://www.louthcms.org/?p=963

    Louth Contemporary Music Society in association with Louth County Arts Office and Dundalk Arts office present The Kronos Quartet with special guest Wu Man in the Irish premieres of Tan Dun’s Ghost Opera & Terry Riley’s Cusp of Magic in An Tain Theatre Dundalk on 13 July 2009.
    Both works were specially written for the Kronos Quartet and are available on cd recordings from Nonesuch records.
    Kronos has become one of the most celebrated and influential ensembles of our time, performing thousands of concerts worldwide, releasing more than 45 recordings of extraordinary breadth and commissioning more than 600 new works and arrangements for string quartet. Kronos’ work has also garnered numerous awards, including a Grammy for Best Chamber Music Performance (2004) and “Musicians of the Year” (2003) from Musical America.

    Tan Dun’s Ghost Opera
    Ghost Opera is an acclaimed work for string quartet and pipa (Chinese lute) from Tan Dun (Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon) Tan Dun’s Ghost Opera is written for string quartet and pipa (Chinese lute) and features Grammy winning Kronos Quartet with acclaimed Chinese instrumentalist Wu Man. Stephen Pettit of the London Times said Tan Dun is master of effect. Ghost Opera is a five movement theatrical work that mirrors an ancient Chinese funeral custom in which the performer engages in a dialogue between his past and future. Ghost Opera is beguiling and moving. It is a colorful as well as a touching meditation, garnished by sounds of clashing stones and cymbals, the Chinese one-stringed lute and pipa, and small bells. . .wonderfully atmospheric.”
    Tan Dun’s (Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon) Ghost Opera is a five movement work for string quartet and pipa, with water, metal, stone and paper. Ghost Opera is written for string quartet and pipa with paper, shadow, and water gong basins placed around the performing space. The performers’ movements reflect the back-and-forth between spiritual realms that is characteristic of the ‘ghostopera’ tradition. In composing Ghost Opera, Tan was inspired by childhood memories of the shamanistic “ghost operas” of the Chinese peasant culture. In this tradition, which is over 4,000 years old, humans and spirits of the future, the past, and nature communicate with each other. The work employs elements from the European classical concert tradition, Chinese shadow puppet theatre, visual art installations, folk music theatre and ritual.

    Terry Riley’s Cusp of Magic
    Terry Riley’s six-movement piece, The Cusp of Magic was described by the Los Angeles Times “with its lullabies and entrancing Chinese songs and sweet disposition, brims with joy.” The Cusp of Magic was commissioned by Kronos on the occasion of their longtime friend and collaborator Riley’s 70th birthday, the piece features the Quartet joined by Wu Man on pipa (a Chinese plucked string instrument, similar to a lute) and vocals, with all musicians also playing a variety of percussion instruments, toys, and noisemakers. Kronos Artistic Director and Violinist David Harrington says, “No composer has been as much a part of Kronos as Terry Riley. We first met at Mills College in 1978, and he has written 23 works for us so far. We knew Terry was turning 70 in 2005, and it seemed like a perfect time to commission another new piece from him. I was sure he would spend the time and take the care needed to bring his knowledge of the pipa up to the point where he could write an amazing work, and over a period of more than a year, he learned about the instrument from Wu Man. “One day I was talking with him and he said he wanted this piece to be ‘magical.’ My granddaughter Emily was an infant at the time. We had little toys and noisemakers around the house, which we would play as I carried her around. Of all the experiences I’ve had, that is the most magical. ‘Why don’t you just come over, and we’ll play some of Emily’s toys?’ I said. So he brought over his computer and recording equipment, and we played all of her toys while she was taking a nap.”
    Riley adds, “In this work, the different timbre and resonance of the Chinese pipa and the Western string quartet highlight the crossover regions of cultural reference, so that the Western musical themes might be projected with an Eastern accent and vice-versa. My plan was to make these regions seamless so that the listener is carried between worlds without an awareness of how he/she ends up there.”

    The Kronos Quartet with special guest Wu Man are presented by Louth Contemporary Music Society in association with Louth County Arts Office and Dundalk Arts office. The performance of Ghost Opera and the Cusp of Magic is funded by The Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon and financially supported by the Dundalk Arts Office, the Louth Arts Office and Fáilte Ireland.

    Russian composer brings new work to world premiere in Drogheda
    Louth Ireland


    The haunting music of Russian-born composer Alexander Knaifel is coming to County Louth with the world premiere of his music in a celebration called ‘The Rest is Noise’.

    The work of the St Petersburg composer and cellist will be performed at St Peter’s Church of Ireland, Drogheda on the 1st May, as part of the Drogheda Arts Festival.

    A number of world renowned musicians will perform Knaifel’s works. The virtuoso violinist Elizabeth Cooney, will perform ‘To EF and the Three calling cards of the Poet’, the first Irish commission from Knaifel, along with cellist Elisabeth Wilson and violist Joachim Roewer.
    The evening will also include the first Irish performance by internationally renowned Russian pianist Oleg Malov, who has performed in some of the most important festivals of contemporary music in Europe.

    The deeply expressive Irish Callino Quartet will also perform some of Knaifel’s hauntingly beautiful music, including ‘O Heavenly King’.

    Organised by Drogheda Borough Council in association with Louth Contemporary Music Society (LCMS) for Drogheda Arts Festival, the performances will be a major musical event for Ireland.

    Eamonn Quinn, of LCMS, spoke about the forthcoming event. “We are proud to be able to attract such major contemporary musical events to the area and host such high calibre composers who have chosen to premiere their work in Ireland.”

    “Alexander Knaifel is a contemporary of Arvo Part, who’s spiritual music was also brought to the area by the LCMS and featured at performances in Dundalk and Drogheda last year,” said Quinn.

    “Knaifel started his career as a cellist and is a former student of Mstislav Rostropovich. He is well-known for both his serious compositions and also his film music, having scored over forty feature films.”

    “In the 1970’s he embarked on a quest through his compositions for purity of tone and music of calm, tranquillity and beauty that touch upon mystical questions like the nature of love,” explained Quinn.

    “The pieces that will be performed in the ‘Rest is Noise’ recital show just how much he has achieved this quest.”

    More information about the performers and the evening is available at www.louthcms.org.

    Tickets for ‘The Rest is Noise’ – The Music of Alexander Knaifel are on sale at the door on the night or are available from the Central Ticket Bureau at €15.

    Alfred Darlington isn’t your average cookie-cutter musician. From how he looks (early Victorian Dandism), to how he makes music, to how he expresses himself and views the world, his is a very individual, a ‘bespoke’ outlook.

    Alfred was born in Santa Monica in 1977 to an artist mother and psychologist father. Musical from very early on, as a child he was classically and jazz-trained in a number of instruments, but his interests were broad and varied – less a prodigy than a renaissance boy whose obsessions ranged from Greek legend to the mountains of Wales. As a 15 year old he finally persuaded his parents to take him to the Principality. Whilst in a YMCA in London he flipped the radio dial, found a pirate radio station and taped some UK rave and hardcore. “It was my first ‘Eureka!’ moment in music,” he says.

    Back in the US he joined local rock bands, jazz bands and ska bands, which he enjoyed but felt limited by,too. At home he was listening to Warp, Ninja and your harder electronic stuff. He started DJing out the more leftfield side of drum and bass and making his own rudimentary productions. They were meant to be drum & bass but they kept turning out different and from his outsider’s experiments his own style was born. He chose the name Daedelus as he had a childhood obsession with invention, and what was he doing, after all, if not tinkering and fiddling and experimenting like the “gentleman inventors” of old?

    In 1999 he started DJing on Dublab.com for his “Entropy Sessions” and began dropping in his own early demo productions. Carlos Nino (of ammoncontact) had the show after him and usually pushed Alfred out the studio as quickly as possible as he was not so into Daedelus’ confrontational DJ style, but when he heard a tranquil Daedelus production he took, in typical Nino style, Daedelus under his considerable wing around the LA scene. Nino placed Daedelus tracks on two influential compilations and then persuaded Plug Research to release his debut album, “Invention” in 2002, Remixers included Madlib, who later took Daedelus’ accordian parts and used them on the Madvillain record, closely followed by his “The Household” EP on Prefuse 73’s Eastern Developments label.

    In 2003, he was booked to play a show in San Diego by Brian Crabtree and Peter Siegerstrong and they asked him to test out an early prototype of the Monome box. “It’s a Non-traditional electronic instrument,” Daedelus explains. “Basically it allows for massive improvisation.” Since then Daedelus has continued to use this revolutionary box, bringing much genuine liveness to the sometimes static world of performed electronic/dance music.

    In 2003 he did “The Weather” album with Busdriver and Radioinactive and the remix album “Rethinking the Weather” on Mush records (home of cLOUDDEAD, also on Big Dada/Ninja Tune). 2004 saw the release of “Of Snowdonia” on Plug Research, the album with which Daedelus says he first “felt true artistic confidence, finding a true voice. I was finally in the right zone.”

    There was certainly no let up in his creativity. Also in 2004 he released the concept album “A Gent Agent” on tiny German label Laboratory Instinct. The 2005 album “Exquisite Corpse” on Mush album featured the likes of TTC, Mike Ladd, MF Doom. Ninja signed Daedelus for UK/Europe (a relationship which has reached its full expression on “Love To Make Music To,” his first album for the label worldwide and put together with the help of their team). In 2006 “Denies the Days Demise” came out, a record showcasing his love of Brazilian music. Last year he released his first live album, “Live At the Low End Theory,” and “The Fairweather Friends EP”. Later this year will see the release of his collaboration with his wife, Laura Darling, as Long Lost!

    And while his reputation has grown internationally, his place in the LA scene has also solidified. The musician that many of the hottest names in the city turn to for everything from bass clarinet licks to advice on obscure electronics, Daedelus has worked extensively with Taz from Sa-Ra, the pair of them opening for the likes of DJ Assault, Justice and 2 Live Crew as well as appearing in Erykah Badu’s most recent video.

    As for “Love To Make Music To,” Daedelus says that this album is “the imaginary memory of a time that never was! It’s my drug/love record, harking back to that time in the YMCA in London, when I first heard rave…”

    Was at the Galway concert tonight, a fantastic show. Didn't really know what to expect but I liked what I heard. A very nice mixture of (mostly) contemporary and world music. The world music was suitably exotic and the contemporary stuff was very listenable and accessible. Top notch stuff. The range of sounds they got from 4 string instruments was really amazing :)
