Speech by President Higgins at a St. Patrick’s Day Reception Celebrating Irish Film

Proust’s Cassette is an immersive audio-visual experience. This hybrid installation features both a virtual audio-visual environment and a set of nostalgic physical devices. Participants enter a virtual space where half-forgotten memories come to life amidst a misty backdrop. They do this by playing different cassette players and re-experiencing the stories and soundscapes from their childhood.

This album serves as the soundtrack for the audio-visual experience, seamlessly blending the nostalgic charm of old technology with the new. The boundaries between reality and imagination are blurred as the physical cassettes trigger experiences in virtual reality.

It offers an opportunity to explore, reflect upon, and celebrate the intricate tapestry of our childhood memories. Participants are invited to embark on a deep, personal, and interactive journey through the hazy corridors of time.

Binary Aftershock, as a musician, could be imagined as a dynamic and innovative electronic music producer known for blending pulsating digital sounds with traditional instrumental melodies. The persona embodies the concept of fusing old and new, symbolizing the aftermath of two colliding musical genres—classical and techno. Picture them as someone with a futuristic, cyberpunk aesthetic, wearing sleek, reflective clothing and often seen with a pair of glowing headphones. Their performances are visually arresting, featuring an array of LED lights and holograms that complement their complex, rhythmically driven tracks. Binary Aftershock’s music is characterized by deep bass lines, intricate synth patterns, and occasional haunting piano solos, creating a sound that resonates with both nostalgia and forward-thinking innovation.

"asallas" aka "LVM" (link below) will move on, but differently.
Italian performer and artist with a background in ballet, blends movement and sound in ways that defy traditional genre boundaries. He uses electronic tools, physical music and field recordings to craft compositions that merge techno, acoustic, and noise elements, inviting a dynamic interaction between the body, the soundscape and the audience. His work extends beyond music, fusing diverse elements of performance into a cohesive experience that challenges the conventions of each medium.

Together with Alexandra Karpilovski are a performance duo who combine text, movement, and sound in mixed-media experiences that explore emotions, moods, and human connection.
