Kirkos Biosphere in the Dublin Enquirer / by Robert Coleman

Ahead of our upcoming outdoor Biosphere festival, the Dublin Enquirer has written up a broad account of what to expect throughout the week.

As well as interviews with Sebastian Adams and Jennifer Walshe, Jane Hackett also discusses my new commission for her: Decay is inherent in all things

‘The title takes its lead from a famous quote from Buddha.

There’s a risk associated with performing in these circumstances – Hackett has no way of knowing exactly what her violin piece will sound like until they start playing.

The piece will use a series of microphones to record and loop the piece over itself through speakers in the forest.

The equipment will be set up in the surrounding woodland, where Hackett will play four movements while it will be recorded along with the noises of the forest.’
