Strange Attractor at the Crawford Art Gallery

I went to this performance today in Cork: "Strange Attractor is a dynamic multi-dimensional series of collaborative ventures between five artists, Anthony Kelly, Danny McCarthy, Irene Murphy, Mick O’Shea and David Stalling.". There were many, many hacked gadgets and toys, lots of effects pedals and loop stations and a couple of harps among other bit and pieces yet the overall soundscapes produced consisted of teeny, tiny sounds (at least when I was there). This was a four hour performance so depending on what time you went there you could have a totally different experience. In 2008 I took part, with the Mersk Collective, in the yearly Sonic Vigil at St. Finbarr's Cathedral Cork which is a day-long event along the same lines as the performance at the Crawford. Here's a short video I took today. I was trying to figure out the controls/settings as I was shooting so excuse the shaking/blurriness.
