p(art)y here and now
Location: Flagmount Wild Garden, Cahermurphy, Flagmoun, Co Clare
Date: Saturday 17 May 2025
Time: 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Everyone Welcome
Flagmount Wild Garden is exactly what it says: wild garden with freely roaming trees, bushes and plants - labyrinth of little paths to wander around (do not get lost, please) with a few mainly wooden buildings - cabins thrown haphazardly around, three of those open to be performed in: first cabin will contains various percussive instruments (to explore, but not to be taken outdoors - all instruments must stay inside, please) and it will be probably noisier room. 2nd “room” is poly-tunnel and this will be almost certainly quieter room to perform.
Remaining 3rd room will be used 8PM, further in the garden is “deep listening room”providing very quiet environment designed to listen sounds of wildlife from the garden.
Pair of microphones will be placed about 45 meters away and you may eavesdrop on wildlife thanks to amplification from speakers in the room. During night we will be hopefully
listening also to ultrasonic echolocation of resident bats transposed-live in human hearing range. Concert-like situation with possibility to snooze and dream freely during this long
duration event.
