the crAsh ensemble - born in the 80’s Crash Ensemble played to a packed house in July 2014 when they presented

their Crash Course in the New York hypnotic School. Following the success of

that collaboration The Dock commissioned Crash as part of our 10 year anni-

versary celebrations and the result is another night of exceptional new music

including a world premiere performance.

From the decade that brought you jelly shoes, Pac- man, Mutant Ninja Turtles

and E.T we bring you Ireland’s brightest composing talent. Ever wondered what it

would be like to hear work by a young Beethoven or Philip Glass as it happened?

This is classical music from here and now - from Irish composers in their 20’s

and early 30’s. Born in the 80’s features works by Barry O’Halpin, Ben Schlep-

per-Connolly, Amanda Feery, Emma O’Halloran and the world premiere of ‘Pause’

by Jonathan Nangle, which was commissioned by The Dock for Crash Ensemble

with funding from The Arts Council. Crash Ensemble is Ireland’s leading con-

temporary music ensemble; a group of world-class musicians who play the most

adventurous, ground-breaking new music of today.

an approach to art-making for Composers as it is for Artists and by extension the work of composers is

increasingly been shown within gallery contexts. Our current exhibition brings to our galleries composer

Jonathan Nangle and visual artists Karl Burke & Mark Garry whose work incorporates a strong sonic

component.

The Past Presence is an exhibition that looks at how artworks and ideas within them

peculate and distil over time. It highlights The Dock’s commitment to commissioning

new work, as part of our ten year anniversary. Revisiting works from our past

commissions, (some which have been revisited with elements reworked by the

artists), the exhibition will feature works by composer Jonathan Nangle and artists,

Aideen Barry, Karl Burke and Mark Garry.

Aideen Barry‘s new work Not to be named is titled after Dante’s reflection on

monsters, as the ones “not to be named nor understood”? This short film draws

us to question where the horror actually lies? Maybe it’s in the mountains of

madness’s we have created ourselves? Not to be named plays with the monstrous

and human expressions of emotion through the endless nightmare of domestic

drudgery and compulsive consumption.

Commissioned by The Dock 10 years ago Landscapes by Karl Burke and Mark Garry

reflected upon notions of a specific place, its histories, stories and mythologies. It

has gone on to be shown in London, Paris, Vilnius, New York and Sydney. This was

the first film work made by both artists. Ten years later, we are re-presenting the

work with new sound elements composed from field recordings and guitar.

First and foremost a composer, Jonathan Nangle’s compositions explore many

diverse fields ranging from interactive installation, to notated acoustic and electro-

acoustic sound and improvisation. Pause is a new commission by the Dock in

association with Crash Ensemble featuring the young Irish ballet dancer Jamie

Haughton. Pause emerged from a short two bar phrase from Charles Ives Concord

sonata (1919). The second work ‘(sighing): oh…but we were monsters’ was directly

inspired by Alvin Lucier and is largely synthesised from sine tones through custom

built software and processed guitar samples. The third work Breath is an Audio-
