Idir Dhá Thrá is delighted to announce Éist, a night of quiet music in North Clare. Éist will take place in the Courthouse Gallery in Ennistymon on Friday 13th of September.  The event seeks to engage listeners in the experience of deep listening and to cultivate a heightened awareness of sonic environments. Using an ambient/electroacoustic framework, we will showcase two Irish composers who use natural soundscapes combined with electronic manipulations.
