Fennesz for Debut Irish Date

Posted on 30th Apr 09 by Paddy Murphy | 0

Octet Promotions is proud to present FENNESZ‘s first ever Irish solo performance ,not to mention our first ever show as promoters in Ireland. Coming hot on the heels of his critically acclaimed fourth album proper, Black Sea, this promises to be a pretty special gig.

At the frontier of contemporary music is Fennesz: a meticulous laptop conceptualist who weaves tangible melodies and glowing guitars through dense, symphonic electronica. Christian Fennesz is know from his own particular musical world as well as his impeccable work in creating beautiful compositions for guitar. Somewhere between concrete music, classical and ambience sounds, he stretches musical resources and effects to create melodies and atmospheres that fuse classical and orchestral concepts with conceptual musical research and complex digital structures.

He has recorded and also performed with Ryuichi Sakamoto as well as playing live with artists such as Keith Rowe, Sparklehorse, and Mike Patton to name but a few. Fennesz has also worked alongside Peter Rehberg and Jim O Rourke in the improvisional trio Fenn O Berg, and with David Sylvian who sang on his album Venice and for whom Fennesz composed the music for the song A Fire in the Forest for the Davd Sylvian album Blemish.
