CORRESPONDENT community ambient/improv/drone assembly THE QUIET CLUB sound art from the guesthouse GADGET AND THE CLOUD music for sad people to dance to CORRESPONDENT: Improvised ambience and drone, comprised of friends and acquaintances passing through as they will: listening, improvising, coming together to communicate through sound. Comprised in this incarnation of Aileen Wallace (Lowli, Bunker Studio), Kelly Doherty (Gadget and the Cloud) and Mike McGrath-Bryan (ex-MERSK Collective), they'll be joined on stage by members of the Quiet Club. THE QUIET CLUB: Formed in 2006, the Quiet Club have met with considerable success and have become recognised as one of Ireland’s leading sound art improvisation groups. They have toured extensively in Ireland and have played at festivals in UK, Germany, Poland, Canada, China and Japan. Most recently they appeared at World Expo (Shanghai), Static (Liverpool) and I & E Festival, (Dublin). The Quiet Club continue to push the boundaries of sound making and listening by employing a wide range of sound making devices ranging from stones, homemade instruments, electronics, amplified textures, Theremins, field recordings, etc. GADGET AND THE CLOUD: Gadget and the Cloud is the moniker of Cork sad beats producer and DJ, Kelly Doherty. After getting positive national feedback with her early singles, she's establishing a live name for herself with sets at Open Ear Festival and Cork Midsummer Festival among others this year.
