STRING MACHINE II

Celebrating 50 years in Ireland, the Goethe Institut Dublin have commissioned an Irish/German String Machine project, a collaborative music project focusing on the composition, development and recording of new work.

Co-ordinated by Eamonn Doyle & David Donohoe, String Machine presents an opportunity for artists of diverse traditions and practices to work outside of their respective disciplines and to cultivate further avenues of ideas.

The project entailed the commissioning of new recorded works for solo stringed instruments by Donal Lunny (IRL bouzouki) and Leopold Hurt (GER Zither). These works were then used as sole source material for two recompositions by electronic artists, Eamonn Doyle/ David Donohoe (IRL) collobarating with Leopold Hurt and Stephan Mathieu (GER) with Donal Lunny.

The four new works are released on CD and form the basis for a night of collaborative improvisations between Lunny, Hurt, Mathieu and Doyle/Donohoe.

Admission is free and will be issued on a first come first served basis. To book your place contact Box Office now on 01 8819 613 or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
