Centre for Creative Practices

EME is a monthly event devoted to new & experimental music.

EME incorporates talks, gigs, installations, screenings, workshops and all happenings of experimental, musical expression.

EME was set up with the aim of providing a home for all kinds of new music outside of the mainstream. Our aim is to provide a platform for composers, musicians & performers to present and discuss their work among themselves and with CFCP audiences.

EME takes place monthly on the Third Monday of each month. We will provide a relaxing informal atmosphere, good sound, big screen, tea & coffee, and you are more than welcome to bring your own refreshments with you. We keep the entrance price as low as we can - €5 for members & €7.50 for non members - we still have to pay the rent.

EME is part of the Centre for Creative Practices. Centre for Creative Practices, established in 2009, is a new cultural venue in the centre of Dublin city. A multicultural and multidisciplinary approach is what we stand for. We believe that CULTURE is a fundamental value for every society, that the arts are an indispensable system of reference for personal and collective values and can set an example of diversity and tolerance. Promoting the arts we aim to neutralise economic stagnation.

We have set up a Facebook page for EME, so that you can join in the group discussions, post photographs and get information on the events.

PREVIOUS EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC EVENING'S

Date	Title	Presented by	Notes
23.08.10	Sprawl Concert	Markus Wenninger	The main part of the evening is a live improvised music concert between musicians at the Centre for Creative Practices and musicians in Berlin, communicating via Skype.
27.09.10	Pacific 231 a/k/a Pierre Jolivet and his latest project Im’shi	Pacific 231 a/k/a Pierre Jolivet	Im'shi (go away, walk in colloquial Arabic) by Pacific 231 The performance is a live improvisation involving an electronic canvas. Like in Pierre’s previous performance Stif(f)le, the accent is on the immediacy of the action. The major difference is the shift from motion sensors to video feed, the dance/movement control has been replaced by an instantaneous visual feedback incorporated to real-time 2D/3D imagery and responding to the sound material. The result is an unpredictable, moving forward experience in multimedia: a near synesthetic perception of the piece.
27.09.10	Cinema for the ear' compositions The Room In The Tower and Adolf Gebler, Clarinettist.	Roger Doyle	Composer Roger Doyle will present his two 'cinema for the ear' compositions The Room In The Tower and Adolf Gebler, Clarinettist. He composes a live soundtrack for an imaginary film with playback of pre-recorded acted scenes coming through loudspeakers, with dimmed lighting as in the movies, together with live musicians. In this way listeners are given the impression they are present at the screening of a film, but one they cannot see, only hear. Roger Doyle is an Irish composer and has worked extensively in theatre, film and dance. Awards include the Programme Music Prize (1997) and the Magisterium Prize (2007) at the Bourges International Electro-Acoustic Music Competition, France, and the Marten Toonder Award (2000) in recognition of his innovative work as a composer. Roger Doyle is a member of Aosdána, Ireland’s state-sponsored academy of creative artists.
