The Alphabet Set Collective presents:A night of collaborative art, sound, movement and visual experimentation.
Bluefood with Emma MartinAs a classically trained dancer Emma Martin has over the past few months been attempting to tap into the memories and impressions that classical movement has imprinted on and in her physical being. With Paul’s soundscape performed live, Emma will use this to scratch the surfaces of instinctual movement to explore and experience the patterns of movement
memory.
Emma Martin and Paul Rowan have worked together previously on a Theatre Dance performance of ‘Play3sum’, by Jeff Gormley, in association with the Soulgunwarriors which was presented with great success at the Electric Picnic 2007. This is Emmas second time to collaborate with Bluefood.
Enagh Farrell with EbaucheEspecially for Passages, multi-disciplinary artist Enagh Farrell is teaming up for the first time with Alphabet Set’s Ebauche, who slowly builds layers of textured noise giving way to ambience while Farrell performs, slowly altering the audiences view, revealing and unravelling to create something unexpected. The collaboration is at once dark, yet strangely beautiful.
KaviKavi will artistically build a visual environment with the musicians, fine artist and dancer involved. The conception lies in projecting real time feed as well pre-filmed material, that have been prepared with Emma and Enagh. real-time feed will build up existing mood of performance while being mixed with other video samples which will resolve much deeper
story of people involved. The video footage is very interpersonal and specially created for this particular performance.
Projections will be streamed on multiple screens and manipulated live with a midi controller.
About the artistsPaul RowanPaul Rowan has been producing and showing his own cross-breed of electronic compositions as the solo project called Bluefood since 2000ish. Bluefood is one man adventure in sonic and visual communication. His music has been released with Spitroast records and The Alphabet Set but having played live sets in many of the venues in Dublin, prefers the smaller intimate events with a site specific theme-ing.
As part of the Body and Soul area in The Electric Picnic this year Bluefood mixed his sound with Jeff Gormley’s play “3sum” and The Soul Gun Warriors Theatre and Dance to produce a cross genre exploration of sexual and philosophical experimentations. He also played the Rathlin Island festival and the Mantua Lives festival. Paul is currently doing a masters in Music and Multimedia Technology in Trinity college. Bluefoods’ musical style is constantly questioning, questioned and in flux.
Emma MartinEmma Martin graduated from the John Cranko State Ballet School, Stuttgart, Germany as a professional dancer in 2000. Since then she has worked and performed with the Trier Dance Company and the Stuttgart Ballet, Germany, Ballet Ireland, Wexford Festival Opera and Coisceim Dance Theatre. As a freelance dancer she has worked with choreographers Nathan Garda, Paul Estabrook, Tadeusz Matacz, Renaud Doucet, Ronald Malzer amongst others.
In 2006 Emma became a member of Muse Innovative Dance Theatre in New York where she has developed and performed the choreographies of Christopher Morgan, in association with Brooklyn Arts Exchange, DanceNow NYC, and the Irish Arts Council. Since 2007 Emma has been a member of the Genesis Project, a dance collective, developing her own work as well as collaborating with other participating artists.
EbaucheEbauche (aka Alex Leonard) currently resides in Letrim and has been producing music for 4 years. Musically his output covers a range of dark beat driven electronica to sublime ambient cascades to simple piano compositions. In 2005 Ebauche released his début album through his own website www.ebauche.net which has been played by John Kelly on RTE Radio 1′s Mystery Train. The album is an ambient work, with layers upon layers beautifully interlacing and falling apart.
Other releases include 2 EP’s, as well as a number of tracks on compilation releases from Invisible Agent, The Alphabet Set and Elusive Recordings.
Recently he has started composing music for film, and has worked on a number of shorts including The Boy with the Ever Open Jaw, Joyriders (Best Short Film at the Galway Film Festival 2006) and The Dropping Well. He is currently working on a new 8 minute short film called The Masterpiece.
He started out playing live sets with Blue Murder Music in Dublin, and since then has played with notables such as Biosphere, Hrvatski and Ambulance.
Enagh FarrellEnagh Farrell is a multi-disciplinary Carlow based artist who graduated from the National College of Art and Design in 2003 with an Honours Degree in Fine Art Print. Her work has been shown in The Fringe Festival, Eigse, The Hotel Ballymun Project and The Project Arts Theatre.
Through various disciplines such as performance, photography and drawing she deals with recurring fragile and intangible themes. An expression of transience, what was, and what is now, is integral to the work. Veils and layers separate the viewer from a thought or a previous expression. Building up layers to create a new moment and then uncovering the pretence, she attempts to reveal something that may be hidden or perhaps was lost in a
long forgotten memory.

The Alphabet SetInitially formed in the late Spring of 2002 as a platform for a group of bedroom producer friends to play live, The Alphabet Set has grown in size into a loose electronic-oriented collective of musicians, visual artists and djs consisting of over 20 people who have been throwing parties, releasing and promoting Irish electronic music for over the last five years.
From tones in the smallest of spaces to allsorts at large scale art + music fund-raisers for charity to mashups in marquees and walls of sound at festivals via every kind of pub, club, theatre, hall and venue in between, we thought it would be good to do something different again in a space that is outside the usual cash register cacophony / beat manifesto and is
open to multi-disciplinary collaboration.
