LOCKY MORRIS

Project Arts Centre, Dublin

12 April 2023

Dublin Sound Lab presents a programme of Irish premiers, including three new works written especially for this performance by Francis Heery, Jaki Irvine and Alessandro Massobrio’s new Music Current Festival commission...Jaki Irvine’s Re_sett_ing_s (for mixed chamber ensemble and live video/VJ) is quite literally a resetting of her recent two-person show of the same name, with Locky Morris at The Complex, Dublin. The artist John Graham described that exhibition as, “a panoply of looping images and sounds; a discursive array of interacting elements that, while tightly constructed, feels enjoyably lawless.” Here the work is literally reset, amplified and projected with the forces of flute, violin, piano and drum kit, and revels in its self confidence and tightly controlled lawlessness.

“Dublin Sound Lab is doing an important job for those in Ireland who remain passionate about music in the post-war avant-garde lineage and who rarely get the opportunity to hear such ‘difficult’ music performed… …flying the flag in Ireland over the past decade for European modernism.” [Liam Cagney, Journal of Music]
