Thank you to everyone who has joined us on our Pie

Thank you to everyone who has joined us on our Piece by Piece journey so far. It's been wonderful collaborating with our partners Improvised Music Company and all the musicians. There's one final piece in this musical puzzle - Belfast harper and sound artist Úna Monaghan next Friday 29 May at 8pm. ⠀
Monaghan examines the intersections between Irish traditional music, experimental music practices, improvisation and interactive technologies. She frequently mixes electro-acoustic textures and ambient sound recordings with traditional tunes and harp improvisations. Often strongly narrative, her work can dwell on darker aspects of human experience alongside re-imaginings of traditional dances and airs.⠀

"It's a real movie about 1969. It's kind of vérité but with a little push. Like a script on a napkin, improvisation mixed with magic. It was about the beginning of the end of the subculture." - Tobe Hooper⠀
⠀
Before making the horror classic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Tobe Hooper directed Eggshell! Narratively abstract, visually experimental, this is the story of a hippie commune & the strange crypto-embryonic-hyper-electric presence in their basement that begins to slowly influence their lives. Eggshells is a compelling vision of Austin, Texas in the twilight of the age of Woodstock, & a fascinating debut from a pivotal filmmaker.⠀
⠀
You can rent Egghshells, plus two of Hooper's early short film, and fantastic bonus content, all for just €5 👆👆👆 link in our bio 👆👆👆. This offer is for this week only, so don't miss out!⠀

We have an amazing sound desk and even more amazing sound engineer at Triskel. We’re missing Chloe Nagle a lot and she’s missing her sound desk so much that her 4 & 8 year olds made her a special one 😊 Can’t wait to see Chloe back behind the desk at Triskel soon! #soundengineer #sounddesk #livemusic

Want to know why you should watch Eggshells by Tob

Want to know why you should watch Eggshells by Tobe Hooper?

This #TriskelRecommends is different from previous editions: in association with Watchmaker Films and Louis Black Productions, Triskel is delighted to present The Early Films of Tobe Hooper.
This programme gives an insight into the earliest work of the legendary horror film director behind such major classics as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) and Poltergeist (1982). We will be streaming his first feature film Eggshells (1971) and two short films, The Heisters (1964) and Down Friday Street (1966). These will be available for seven days in one rental package. For a one-off payment, you will be able to access not only these rare films but some fascinating bonus material as well. This includes the filmmaker commentary version of Eggshells, with Hooper in conversation with restoration co-producer Louis Black about the making of the film, and an audio recording made in 2018 when Mark Rance of Watchmaker Films (the company behind the restoration of Eggshells) took part in a Q&A following the Irish Premiere of the film at Triskel Arts Centre.

Head to our website (👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻link in bio 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻) to find out why @chrisoneill2020 our Head of #cinema thinks you should watch Eggshells.

Do you (your child/niece/nephew) have a story that’s bursting to get out of you? Would you like to hear your story read out in public – EVERY SINGLE WORD? Then we want to read it.

We are celebrating children’s creativity on #Cruinniunanog @creativeireland and are inviting young writers between 6 and 12 years old to submit a new story of up to 300 words. A selection of the stories will be read online 📚on Saturday the 13th of June, the national day of youth creativity, by actor George Hanover who incidentally, has played a lot of baddies like the Wicked Witch of the West (The Wizard of Oz 🌪), Lucinda the Wicked Witch🧙🏻 (Sleeping Beauty), the Evil Stepmother (Snow White) but she’s actually quite lovely and funny and will take great care in bringing your stories to life!

Your story can be about anything you like…… your Granny 👵🏻, a day in the life of your dog 🐶, the tree 🌳outside your window and the mysterious creatures that live in it, the best day of your life, the colour of the wind 🌬or if you had wings 🦋where would you fly to? Your story can be fact, fiction, funny, frightening, fuzzy or fruity. Anything at all you want to write about.

INSPIRATION IS EVERYWHERE, look on the stairs, at the back of the shelf, in that old bag👜, under the couch, the box of toys, the potted plants, behind the curtains, don’t forget the walls, try the fridge, outside the window, up in the sky, down in the earth, around that corner, under that leaf🍃, during your walk, in the middle of your cycle🚴, behind your ear👂 , on the tip of your pencil ✏️ , to the left of that blank page…… right? Right! WRITE!

Please submit your story via the link below no later than Friday 22nd May. 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻Link in our bio for Telling Tales @ Triskel 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻

The sixth piece in the #PieceByPiece sequences com

The sixth piece in the #PieceByPiece sequences comes from virtuoso trombonist, composer and arranger, @pauldunleamusic, who is in demand across genres. His original music builds on his gift for strongly flowing melodies with a tight sense of groove, and an ability to paint evocative pictures in sound.

This is in next Friday 15 May at 8pm and will be streamed on our Facebook page and @improvisedmusic’s YouTube Channel (links in bio)

What does improvisation mean to Cora Venus Lunny?

What does improvisation mean to Cora Venus Lunny? “Survival, flexibility, vitality, making sense of chaos, a lifeline. Musically, the “permission” to improvise was very freeing for me after coming from a strict classical background when I was younger, and it’s been a strong thread weaving through my work and education ever since. It’s such a fun thing to do. I don’t think improvisation gets enough credit in general, in life we’re all making it up as we go along, now more than ever.” Join Cora for her #PieceByPiece concert tomorrow at 8pm - our Fb page & @improvisedmusic YouTube - links in our bio! #jazz #jazzmusic #violin #improvisedmusic #coronaconcert #onlineconcert

This week for #TriskelRecommends we are presenting

This week for #TriskelRecommends we are presenting a special programme of Cork-made artists’ moving image curated by #Phantoscope Triskel’s quarterly experimental film event. It is drawn from participants in LUX Critical Forum Cork. Initiated in 2019, the Critical Forum is a discussion group for artists, critics and curators who have an investment in the future of the moving image. It is a space for criticality and debate in a mutually supportive environment and operates in dialogue with Critical Forum groups in Dublin and across the UK.

The seven films that make up this programme give an enthralling reflection of the current richness of artists’ moving image in Cork. Aisling O Connell, @natashabourkeartist @mieke_vanmechelen @arrantenzinbradstock Michael Holly, @david_ian_bickley and James McCann offer distinctive visions of what contemporary experimental moving image can be. This programme was first screened at the Luminous Void Experimental Film Festival last December.

Thanks to @maximilianlecain – Phantoscope Programmer
