Interesting program for the next Free State concert by the Crash Ensemble that includes SSTN-friend Amanda Feery with a great piece for bass clarinet called 'Rattle'. You can hear this piece below performed by Paul Roe.

Crash Ensemble continues its commitment to showcasing the work of Ireland’s brightest composers in Free State VI, paying homage to new talent in this annual concert.

For one night only, the Irish Museum of Modern Art will play host to a full spectrum of Irish contemporary talent, ranging from Judith Ring’s ‘Up to My F-holes’ for solo cello and tape to Andrew Hamilton’s ‘Music for People Who Like Art’ for full ensemble and soprano. This concert will also feature the world premiere of a new piece by Dan Trueman, specially commissioned for Free State VI by Crash Ensemble.

It's on Friday 1 April, 2011 at IMMA with tickets €20/15. IMMA works really well as a venue for Crash stuff, Rothko Chapel sounded great out there.

We featured Zvuku awhile back in our Strings Series and he now has a new EP out on Heat Death Records. Full of beautiful post-minimalist drones and ambient textures, this collection is well worth checking out. It is released on 15 March and you can pre-order now on bandcamp.
