Dublin Sound Lab return with their trademark multimedia presentation style. In this year’s festival they focus our attention on the space between the action and the sound. When a percussionist’s beater strikes a drum, the action seems to stop abruptly at the moment the music begins to sound. In this new programme, “Action! Station!”, Dublin Sound Lab place the listener in the gap between action and sound, the point of contact where the waveform crosses the zero-point, where the memory pointer resets to the start of the loop, at the point of suspension between action and sound.
