Klimek & Jimmy Behan For Dublin, April 29th
Tuesday, April 1st, 2008
Forever Promotions presents Klimek and Jimmy Behan, live in Whelan’s (Dublin) at 8pm on Thursday April 29th.
Sebastian Meissner (Klimek) works as a media artist using sound, video and photography. Employing multiple artistic personas (Autokontrast, Autopoieses, Bill Circuits, Klimek, Open Source, Random Industries, Random Inc.), his works deal with and negotiate urban / cultural / social scenarios, randomness, historical music archives and strategies of networking.
He works with computer music sources, sampling and moving photography, assembling their interrelation within geographic / historical / political discourses. His work has been released on many labels including Kompakt, Mille Plateaux, Sub Rosa and most recently, his album ‘Dedications’ on Anticipate Recordings.
Carlow native Jimmy Behan released his well received debut album ‘Days Are What We Live In’ in 2004, before taking two years out to study for a Masters in Music & Media Technologies in Trinity College, Dublin. His work uses computer processing of acoustic sounds and field recordings to explore sound’s role in our relationship with time, memory and our environment. He is currently completing work on his next album and a remix compilation. His new five-track EP will be released soon on the Zymogen netlabel. He has recently relocated to Carlow town after 16 years of living in Dublin.
Catch both acts live in Whelan’s at the end of April.
