| | | More talks CTM 2024 talks are now published. Asking what happens to music creation when your location is the definition of peripheral? the panel discussion »On The Edge - Ireland, Rave, And The Periphery« explored the dynamics between Ireland and electronic music-making hubs around the world, including Ireland’s post-colonial relationship with Britain and the sectarian context of Northern Ireland. Featuring Dara Smith (Lakker, Arad), Hazey Haze, and Lolz (GASH), in conversation with Niamh McShane (SWOON). Heinali is a Ukrainian music composer and sound artist whose core practice reimagines Early music with a modular synthesiser, exploring intersections of the Providence and Contingency, the past and the present, technology and the sacred. His talk »And I Feel Dread, and I Feel Love: Reimagining Early Music at the End of Times« explored the perils and wonders of working with mediaeval music in our times, its transhistoricity and alterity – including 13th century compositions as time dilating black holes, possessed synthesisers exploring the boundaries of divine determinism, and catastrophic polyphony traversing the wartime reality. At CTM 2024, Félicia Atkinson premiered »Thinking Through the Iceberg,« an experimental oratorio for three characters, with the collaboration of the abstract guitarist Jules Reidy and the sound artist crys cole. Ahead of the premiere, Atkinson and cole spoke with the media and art scholar Daniel Irrgang in a conversation titled »Sounding the Non Human,« touching on their collaboration and intersecting approaches, and on revealing complex and fragile interconnectedness even in places where there seems to be no life at all.
