Composer, producer, curator and intermedia artist, Daniel Figgis is dedicated to audacious applications for technologies old and new alike. "I've known Daniel's work since (the early days) and initially regarded him as a courageous artist. Later I began to see him as visionary, unclassifiable in his installation work. I've long heard an uncanny mix of elegy and anger in Daniel's music which doesn't require words or explanation. But I find this combination quite thrilling and moving." - Eamon Carr "engine detail: digressions 1-4 is gorgeous, inhaling cacophony and silence simultaneously, reaching into places I have never been. The work bleeds spirit, and it reminds me of the present." - ANOHNI "Daniel Figgis's compositions act as portals between the worlds of the organic and the inorganic, order and chaos, animate and inanimate. Things are seldom what they seem for more than a moment, but despite the tumultuous caravan of seemingly disparate energies, the pieces are entities which possess the cohesion of an intricate cityscape, or the panorama of a random weather system over a turbulent sea." - Donal Lunny Artists: Susan Doyle: flute Emily Thyne: violin Lisa Dowdall: viola Arun Rao: cello Kate Ellis: cello Aine Ni Dhubhghaill: harp Daniel Figgis: various Deirdre O'Leary: clarinet Malachy Robinson: double bass Oren Ambarchi: bowed metal John Martyn: electric guitar, voice Arun Rao: cello Emily Thyne: violin Isabelle O'Connell: piano John Godfrey: electric guitar Kate Ellis: cello Lisa Dowdall: viola
