6th July 2003 DEVICES - #2 Casio + Drum Improvisations Featuring Dave Carroll Adrienne Flynn Rory McCafferty Graham Montgomery Garry O’Neill Gavin Prior Venue: Lazybird, The International Bar, Wicklow Street, Dublin 2. 8pm / 4euro _____________________________________________________________________ DEVICES is a series of musical events set up to explore improvisation based on reference / structural points, focussing on interaction through rhythm and sound. Devices #1 Guitar Improvisations, featured 4 players. They played from two main themes, the first being the note of E being played on different strings and secondly individual notes E,A,D,G. This initial restriction on free playing, which in general is contradictory to improvisation, resulted in free repetitive melodies and occasional sonic swarms. These Devices #1 pieces will be available to download on mp3 and real audio from the DEVICES website soon. http://www.smilingmadeeasy.com/devices http://www.lazybird.org.uk
