GROUNDWORK
Thursday 6 November, 8:30pm
Pay What You Can Tickets
Building towards collapse only to build again, this performance brings together Limerick-based improvised noise group Péist and artist Billy Kemp. GROUNDWORK will unearth an interdependence between sound, movement and live-visuals, moving through fleeting moments of unity and discord.
Taking their name from the Irish for ‘worm’, Péist’s improvisations use synthesisers, electro-acoustic instruments, and purpose-built software to wriggle and writhe between sounds and musical forms, burrowing through the dirt.
Péist – Sounds
Aoibhinn O’Dea – Movement
Billy Kemp – Live Visuals
Part of Light Moves’ SPIRAL commissions.
Exploring the relationship between live music, dance and film has been a key part of our festival since 2016. In 2021 the festival launched Spiral, a series of new music and dance commissions that has resulted in over 20 artists creating new works for Light Moves. This year, for the third edition of Spiral, the festival is delighted to present three specially commissioned works that explore new possibilities through sound and dance interaction.
