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.

Last night saw the Heineken Green Spheres tour arrive in Carlow with Vitalic on the stage in the Dinn Ri - how was it for you? Any feedback you’d like to share with CarlowMusic.com? Early feedback from people suggested it was “worth it” and the “best gig ever”.
Anything you’d like to share?

Vitalic, or Pascal Arbez, is to take to the Heineken Green Spheres stage in the Dinn Ri on Thursday September 20th for the fourth Green Sphere’s session of the year. The tour included a stop in Kilkenny for New Young Pony Club earlier this year but clubbers should enjoy this night in September.
Vitalic’s work is a blend of rock, electronica, techno, house and more, all with its own “hard-edged playfulness” as has been touted in the press.
As with all other Green Spheres gigs you can throw your name in the hat for free tickets by visiting HeinekenGreenSpheres.ie.
