Bend it Like Beckett
Those who are familiar with the work of Samuel Beckett will know the importance of sound in his work. Beckett had a great understanding of sound and a profound knowledge of the practice of listening.
Art Trail/Soundworks is this year based in Shandon, Cork City. On Beckett’s taking leave of Ireland he made a final call to Cork, to Shandon, to visit the grave of Frances Sylvester O’Mahony, aka Fr Prout, a writer he greatly admired. It seemed appropriate to mark the occasion of the centenary of Becketts birth by compiling this CD of one hundred works.
