The Ark: Surprising Sounds in Technicolor (schools)

14 May - 31 May

Cork-based composer Karen Power loves to create sounds from unexpected sources using everyday objects, leaves, stones and other inspiration from the world around us.  These ‘found sounds’ have a resonance with the technique in film-making where everyday sound effects are added to enhance the quality of the soundtrack. Karen will guide classes in developing a deep curiosity and ability to listen to the creative musical potential hidden in all kinds of objects.

Gorging Limpet - Cork MidSummer Festival June 27th - 29th 2013, 6pm, Marina Industrial Park, Cork.


Tickets: €7

Booking:http://www.corkmidsummer.com/programme/event/gorging-limpet

Gorging Limpet is a site-specific performance installation by composer Karen Power and filmmaker Maximilian Le Cain. Within an empty post-industrial space, it uses sound, film and video to conjure a mysterious zone of elusive sounds and images that hint at a ghostly realm of submerged memory. The material of this vision is Cork itself, the decaying fabric of its forgotten corners and the perpetual whispering of its river.

NEWS: The Arctic Circle Autumn Art and Science Residency Expedition: Karen travels to The Arctic this Sept. to record beneath the ice for future compositions.

‘The Arctic Circle is a nexus where art intersects science, architecture, education, and activism - an incubator for thought and experimentation for artists and innovators who seek out and foster areas of collaboration to engage in the central issue of out time.’

On Friday May 30th at 6pm, Gorging Limpet presented a new half-hour work-in-progress at TDC, Triskel, followed by a question and answer session.

 

Gorging Limpet is an ongoing performance/installation project by composer Karen Power and experimental filmmaker Maximilian Le Cain. Using sound, film and video, Gorging Limpet events draw on post-industrial space to create an uncanny vision of a world that remains almost, but not quite, recognizable. A mysterious zone of elusive sounds and mysterious images that powerfully interact to immerse viewers in a ghostly realm of submerged memory.

 

“Karen Power and Max Le Cain conjured a hierarchy of post-industrial space; an assemblage of dissonance layered with images at once ordinary and transformative. Gorging Limpet presents a transitory landscape, casting light on simplicity whilst revealing a deeper narrative in the shadows.” (Nathaneal May, director of soundSCAPE Composition and Performance Exchange festival)

 

Gorging Limpet began with an elaborate site-specific performance at last year’s Cork Midsummer Festival. Since then, smaller-scale performances have taken place at Temple Bar Gallery, Dublin, and at the National Concert Hall as part of New Music Dublin. Over a week-long residency at the TDC, Gorging Limpet have been developing material for a new performance.

‘is it raining while you listen is a series of frozen sonic moments. It’s my first CD and the compositions date from 2007 right up to a field-recording based work written specially for the CD; forever ricefields. Some of them are electronic recordings and some involve exceptional performers from all over the world I’ve been lucky enough to collaborate with. I’ve also worked with artists from many other disciplines and to represent their voices in my work I’ve asked several of them to provide text, poetry, photographs and even the design of the CD cover right down to its texture. is it raining while you listen is a labour of love and could not have happened without the enthusiasm and dedication of Farpoint Recordings.’

mikromusik - a festival of experimental music and sound art, Berlin, Germany featuring:


once below (2015) is a double quadraphonic sound installation with intermittent soloists, which focuses on time, place and our ever-changing contexts of hearing. The entire work is based on recordings made in a bunker underneath Gesundbrunnen Station, Berlin. Most of the sounds recorded are not audible to our naked ears. They are hidden and yet feel very real and present. These sounds themselves adhere to their own rhythm and time, in which we play little part. This work brings many aspects of Karen’s work together in a very special and unique venue; Kapelle der Versöhnung (Chapel of Reconciliation). Here, the two sound installations are naturally separated through the chapel dome offering audiences the opportunity to experience a creative manipulation of hidden and audible from this special world below. 4 soloists will ‘drop-by’ to perform a short composed piece in the outer space at numerous times throughout each day, which offers yet another context, another time, another space that changes how we hear everything.

INVITATION TO WANDER (2019) by Karen Power

An invitation to wander and explore four of the world’s most fascinating and remote environments: The Arctic, Amazon, Australian Outback and Deserts in a new multi-roomed composition created by Cork based-composer, Karen Power. Featuring a mixed media durational performance with musicians, Quiet Music Ensemble; vocalists, Ute Wassermann and Michelle O’Rourke; and Ireland’s first ever *Sound Choir, with imagery by John Godfrey.


Using specialised field recordings from some of the world’s most in-human environments, this performance explores the possibilities of how through hearing natural sound structures and harmonies we can potentially rediscover the evolutionary parallels between humans, nature and animals.


Just listen……..


*An innovational concept devised by Karen Power, a roaming body of voices who listen and respond to the sonic environments using a series of guided improvisations and composed musical phrases.
