The Earpiece collective is a group of Irish composers and performers co-ordinated by Galen Mac Caba and Dennis Wyers. It explores the space between acoustic and electronic music. On September 9th, Earpiece will host a concert programme in collaboration with the Dublin Laptop Orchestra to perform newly composed works inspired by spectral processing, live electronics and contemporary composition. The evening will showcase a diverse range of styles, with each composer using their unique approach to blend the two worlds of live acoustic and electronic performance. Works by Alex Dowling, Thomas Dunne, Galen MacCaba, Donal MacErlaine, Oona McFarland and Dennis Wyers.
