La Cosa Preziosa (Susanna Caprara) is a soundscape artist and field recordist originally from the south of Italy and based in Dublin, Ireland.  

Part of her work is focused on the creation of short-form audio works that explore poetry, humour and the unexpected, through the exclusive use of her own field recordings. These works take the form of narrated fiction, experimental composition and micro documentaries. 

As a soundscape designer she composes original works for large scale productions such as live performances, radio productions and gallery installations. Currently working on a soundscape for the contemporary dance piece 'Invisible Histories' by Mary Wycherley featuring sculptures by Rory Tangney and opening at Limerick City Gallery of Art in summer 2018.

Recent projects include Onironautica (RTÉ Lyric FM commission for Art's Birthday 2017, finalist in the EBU Ars Acustica Prix Palma Award), composing a soundscape for a Lucien Clergue photograph as part of Landscape/ Soundscape at Penn State University (USA) and co-curating 'Mean Time', a live performance inspired by the women of 1916 (Richmond Barracks and live broadcast on RTÉ Lyric FM, nominated for an IMRO Radio Award and a New York Radio Festivals Radio Award).

L.A. based 5-piece garage rock band.

Members:

Ciara “Cornbread” Lunger - vocals. Dubbed after an incident with her favorite water bottle and a radioactive slice of cornbread, she acquired superhuman strength and laser beam eyes that are known to melt faces. You have been warned.

Luke Bouma - drums. Don’t let his ethnically ambiguous appearance fool you (Swedish? Swiss? Maybe Dutch?); the Boumatron transcends all cultural boundaries because he is actually a Transformer. His final form? A flip-flop-bottle-opener hybrid.

Robin Cho - vocals, bass. An avid tank top enthusiast and accomplished mouth trumpeter, he currently splits his time between Yoshinoya and a vanity project disguised as a documentary on college life.

Jalani Thompson - guitar. Raised by a pack of wolves in the Arctic tundra, this speedster is never one to hold up. If you give him ten, he’ll crank it up to eleven. If you punch him in the face, he’ll punch it even harder. But most importantly, if you offer him a yeezy, he’ll Gucci straight into your bucket hat.

Cameron Thieme - guitar. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. In the midst of a passionate on-and-off love affair with his year-long guitar pick, this Romeo is notorious for his sexy riffs. She can’t get enough of his titillating Allman-esque licks and striped suit pants.
