The inaugural Second Square to None event was held in the Joy Gallery, 2 Rutland Place, Dublin 1, on a freezing cold Sunday at the end of November 2008. Despite the frosty conditions it was an all round quality line up of music and visuals. In the second of our Monday downloads we present Dubreak's set, with photography by Aoife de Burca. Biogs and links below.
Dubreak (on myspace):
First influenced by music at an early age, Dara and his older brother used to fabricate their own type of home-made radio shows when they were wee nippers, splicing and resampling snippets off LW radio shows and talking over the recordings. Dara moved on to using two junk-shop HI-FI decks when he was 13, in his bedroom using doubles of records and some piss-poor scratching techniques trying his hand at being a 'superstar' DJ. He soon got sick of that, unlike some people, and has been making his own brand of music since.... He first programmed sequences on an Amstrad CPC464 with a funky 80's 'lightpen', then a Yamaha CX5M music computer (that plugged into the tiny black and white telly in his even smaller rented smelly bedsit), next with ReBirth, then Reason, Cubase, Ableton Live.... Currently he uses a Moog Voyager, ProTools and a rampant collection of other music stuff. Occasionally he gets to gig at a few festivals around ireland, and work at a few 'live-sound' venues around Dublin as a 'Live Sound' Engineer. Best music moment: Either the time he and Diarmo played live (as MonoSum) to a nice sized crowd at Mantua Festival '06, or the time he had a lock-in in AnSeo Dublin with Dr Alex Paterson, drinking brandy and smoking a few fine Jamaican 'cigars'. Dara is currently in his second year of 'Sound Engineering' at Pulse Recording Studios in Dublin. Viva la tunes....
Aoife de Burca:
Aoife is not fond of writing biographies about herself so until she does all you'll have to go on is her work!
