DUBLIN SOUND LAB is a contemporary music performance group specialising in new electroacoustic music and computer-mediated performance. The group was formed in 2008 by organist Michael Quinn and composer Fergal Dowling to perform new electroacoustic works by Irish and international composers. DUBLIN SOUND LAB have given Irish premieres of many contemporary electronic works and have worked with leading Irish and international composers, performing works by: Ailis Ni Riain, Nick Collins, Julio d'Escrivan, Gérard Grisey, Salvatore Sciarrino, Kaija Saariaho, Luca Francesconi, Karlheinz Essl, Peter Ablinger, Mauricio Kagel, Wim de Ruiter, Ann Cleare, Scott McLaughlin, Barry Truax, Roderik de Man, Karen Tanaka, Jean-Claude Risset, Ed Bennett, Judith Ring and Jonathan Harvey. In 2009 Dublin Sound Lab invited the renowned violist Garth Knox to programme a concert of contemporary viola music at St Werbugh’s Church, Dublin. In April 2011 DUBLIN SOUND LAB performed a special Beckett-inspired programme at the Centre Culture Irlandais, Paris, to a capacity audience.
KARLHEINZ ESSL (born 1960, Vienna) is an Austrian composer, improviser and performer. He studied composition with Friedrich Cerha and musicology in Vienna (doctoral thesis (1989) on Anton Webern). As a double bassist, he played in chamber and jazz ensembles. Besides writing instrumental music and composing electronic music, he performs on his own electronic instrument m@ze°2, develops software environments for computer-aided composition and creates generative sound and video environments, often in collaboration with artists from other fields. Essl served as composer-in-residence at the Darmstadt summer courses (1990-94) and completed a commission for IRCAM. Since 1994, Karlheinz Essl has been curating experimental music concerts and sound installations at the Essl Museum in Klosterneuburg. In 2007 he was appointed professor of composition for electro-acoustic and experimental music at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna.
