An amazing set that unfolds & develops from beautifully eerie tones to industrially textured noisescapes to pulsing chaotic conclusion. This performance truly wrecked the system at the Joy Gallery last February & the crowd present were lovin it, check it out.

We're currently in the process of uploading all our music to Soundcloud as our FTP host has proved very unreliable, Soundcloud offers a (hopefully) hassle free audio-centric alternative so we're going with that.

When all the mixes have been uploaded we will update all old blogposts accordingly.

MP3s temporarily offline

Just a quick note about the lack of music on this music blog: to our extreme annoyance today we find that for the second time, and with no reasonable explanation, all the mp3s on this blog and www.eddevane.com have been erased.

We've been in touch with the hosting company and await their speedy and helpful response (they were so helpful the last time that it only took us about 3 weeks to upload everything again from scratch as Second Square to None HQ/ 1mb/sec land).

Hopefully this information can be retrieved from the hosting company's side!

Sorry for any inconvenience caused by this...

Line-up details here.

We want a large collection of 10 second long pieces of audio / music made by people based in Ireland. As digital media proliferates, attention spans grow smaller, and as the recession flourishes a lot of creative people now have a lot of free time on their hands! So what better way to pass this time than to make a ridiculously short piece of music...

There are only 3 rules with this: submissions must be
  1. exactly 10 seconds long,
  2. original (i.e. not somebody else's copyrighted music)
  3. be in uncompressed .wav or .aif format.
One per artist please. The music or recording can be in any style, and is not restricted to electronic music. So far we've asked artists who have played at our events previously, and would now like to open the project to anyone who wants to contribute.

The deadline is September 15th.

Why
  • Submissions will be presented publically at our gig during the festival (more details coming soon), and on a special page on our website in a suitably quadrilateral style.

  • We have invited 5 acts to use these submissions as the basis of their livesets - you will hear your sounds re-interpreted in a variety of different ways depending on the artist in question. The pool of sounds / music we have so far is deep and wide, and the more there are the more the live acts have to work with.

  • You will be playing a small but important part in an internationally recognised art festival and your sense of achievment will last a lot longer than 10 seconds!

Tell any Irish-based people you know who might be interested please!

You can upload your Ten Second pieces to our dropbox below, or email us.
