Quarry, Ballyneety

Nov 2024


Quarry, Ballyneety

Sound + Single-Channel Video, Loop, 21mins

‘Quarry, Ballyneety’ is a quiet vocal + electronics performance responding to the deserted extraction site in County Limerick, and the wildlife now flourishing in its man-made habitat (sand martins, jackdaws, buzzards, hares among them). A peregrine falcon even makes two otherworldly interruptions during the recording. The piece was captured using a stereo pair of high-sensitivity mics, Zoom recorder and a DSLR camera.

The piece was exhibited as of ‘The Limerick Show’ at Ormston House, 29th Nov 2024 to 1st Feb 2025.
