Commission – Ulster University: the 6th (pan-Irish) radio piece, 8-channel recording – 11’20”.

Programme note:

On the Éire (2017, 11’20) is the sixth in Landy’s ‘Radio Series’, works based solely on material from a nation’s radio broadcasters collected over a brief period. In this case material was collected shortly before Saint Patrick’s Day 2017 throughout both Ireland and Northern Ireland, that is, in the time of Brexit and no N. Irish government. It was commissioned by the University of Ulster and had its premiere during the IMBOLC Festival at Cultúrlann Uí Chanáin in Derry in February. Its formula: take sonic materials from daily life and simply recompose them! The recording below is a binaural version of this work.
