“Bend It Like Beckett”
“Bend It Like Beckett” is the title of the second CD released by Art Trail. Shandon is a place of particular connection with Beckett who, on taking leave of Ireland, made a final call to Cork, to visit Shandon and St Anne’s Cemetery to pay homage at the grave of Francis Sylvester O’Mahony aka Fr Prout, a writer Beckett greatly admired. It seemed appropriate to mark the occasion of the centenary of Beckett’s birth by compiling this CD of one hundred works by over eighty artists from twenty countries spanning the globe. “Bend It Like Beckett” was curated by Danny Mc Carthy one of Ireland leading sound artists who last year co edited (with Julie Forrester) the publication and CD “SOUNDWORKS For Those Who Have Ears” recently listed as one of the Institute of Contempory Arts, London top10 publications and last year he also co curated with David Toop the highly acclaimed exhibition of outdoor sound art entitled “Sound Out” for Cork2005 European Capital of Culture as well as making several installations and performances as an artist in his right.. This new CD has works in a wide variety of forms ranging from electro acoustic, electronic, acoustic and voice to glitch to noise etc., and includes some leading internationally recognised sound artists including David Toop, Scanner, and Stephen Vitiello (who also contributed the cover photo of Beckett’s grave in Paris) plus some of the leading Irish practitioners David Lacey & Paul Vogel, Sean Taylor, Fergus Kelly, Linda O Keefe, miXile , Anthony Kelly & David Stalling, Danny Mc Carthy and many more. Containing one hundred works each sixty seconds or less, combining together to form one of the most unique sonic experiences of the year. Selection was by invitation and open submission and the call out received a huge response both nationally and internationally with entries from as far afield as New Zealand and South Korea proving that whilst based in Cork, Art Trail is reaching out to a global audience and that Cork is recognised a leading centre for Sound Art both nationally and internationally.
