Six newly-commissioned music and film works, screening throughout hcmf// 2022 – more info
We are happy to present an exhibition by HCMF 2022 again this year – Ulysses Journey 2022 – celebrating the 100th anniversary of the publication of Ulysses by James Joyce, Contemporary Music Centre, Ireland and Centre Culturel Irlandais. This project co-commissions six new works by composers, reflecting on and/or respond to Ulysses, together with films by filmmakers to accompany these new works. Ed Bennett, Darragh Kelly, Garth Knox, Anselm McDonnell, Ailís Ní Ríain and Ultan O’Brien were selected to compose new works for accordion, spoken word and/or electronics and to collaborate with filmmakers Jonathan Creasy (Knox), Rioghnach Ni Ghrioghair (Kelly), Laura Sheeran (Bennett) and Ross Wilson BEM/Art Ward (McDonnell) to create visual landscapes for their new music. Both Ailís Ní Ríain and Ultan O’Brien have created films to accompany their own compositions.
