ICMC 2008

The upcoming ICMC (International Computer Music Conference) is very, very close.
It is taking place in Belfast this year and we are all flat out with organising. I have taken on the artisitc direction of the Roots Ensemble, which will be playing the opening concert of the ICMC on Sunday, the 24th of August, 7pm in the Whitla Hall. The Roots Ensemble will be playing throughout the conference in various formations. I have been able to recruit some amazing players and if you are nearby you can hear performers such as German based Flautist Carin Levine, Portuguese Percussionist Pedro Carneiro, UK-based Pianist Philip Thomas, Trombonist John Kenny from Scotland, and Cellist Su-a-Lee, Violinist Roman Mints, Concert Accordionist Denis Patkovic from Germany, Irish born (New-York based) Piper Ivan Goff, Irish Harpist Laoise Kelly, Bass Clarinettist Deirdre O'Leary, US-based Clarinettist Esther Lamneck and my humble self on saxes.
