Tonight to celebrate the institutes 50th year they are staging a live music collaboration between Irish and German traditional and electronic musicians. The commission was entitled String Machine II and comprises of original compositions for stringed instruments created by Donal Lunny and Leopold Hurt. These arrangements will provide the sole source of audio to be digitally recomposed by electronic artists Stephan Mathieu and D1 record’s David Donohue & Eamon Doyle.
