about

From their earliest incarnation as the riotous band of anarchic pranksters known as the “Avant Gardaí”, the renowned sound art collective Grúpat have played on both the artistic and geographical margins of the Irish art scene, creating a body of work which is by turns joking and serious, provocative and engaging, sublime and enigmatic. Their work demonstrates a wide variety of approaches to sound ranging from graphic scores to sound installations, silent musical films to sonic reliquaries, sculpture-instruments to gowns for the sonic flâneur.

The tracks on The Wasistas of Thereswhere include Turf Boon’s post-colonial foray through Irish history via a wide range of regional Irish and British accents; Ukeoirn O’Connor’s exploration of the limits of the International Phonetic Alphabet’s vowel pool; outsider artist Violetta Mahon’s excavation of her dream diaries; Detleva Verens’s mapping of the constellations onto breath, and drag artist and flâneur The Dowager Marchylove’s quaring of the landscape around Dublin.

This release is the companion to jenniferwalshe.bandcamp.com/album/songtags. Both CDs were first released in 2009, on the occasion of the Grúpat retrospective at the Project Arts Centre, Dublin.

“With Julius, he was based in repetition, but here was a spirit of openness and improvisation. His scores, if they were written out that way, were often like jazz scores. He loved multiplying instruments – four pianos, ten cellos – so there was a real feeling of the presence of the instrument, not just using an instrument in some kind of equation, as a means to an end.” ~ Mary Jane Leach Enough said. pt
