Bounce Project 2021: Harp and Parkour Collaboration & Development with Glenn McMahon
This video was recorded in September 2021 to document the development of a collaboration between myself and Glenn McMahon. Thanks to support from the Arts Council of Ireland through their Agility award, myself and Glenn were able to meet several times to exchange ideas and to develop ways in which a future collaborative piece might take shape.
We hope this video inspires fellow musicians to collaborate beyond their current scope. We had great fun finding a common language and look forward to working together in the future.

Ger shared this gorgeous, muted sunrise recently and it made me reflect on how close the sunrise is to the sunset, and how the horizon, for me, is letting go of yesterday whilst embracing the newness of today. I found myself searching around the beautiful lullaby Twinkle Twinkle and trying to resolve for myself where it should sit. I have shared this musical musing in its rawest form, no tweaki...

    The harp that once through Tara's halls The soul of music shed, Now hangs as mute on Tara's walls, As if that soul were fled. So sleeps the pride of former days, So glory's thrill is o'er, And hearts, that once beat high for praise, Now feel that pulse no more. No more to chiefs and ladies bright The harp of Tara swells; The chord alone, that breaks at night, Its tale of ruin tells. Thus Freedom now so seldom wakes, The only throb she gives, Is when some heart indignant breaks, To show that still she lives.

    What a stunning creation! This so evocative in it's content and presentation. It is at once modern and kinetic with a bit of mysticism woven throughout. It is especially engaging to see Emily's aerial dance filmed through the strings of the harp. It forges a connection and helps to show the harp as a living being rather than presenting it as static object waiting for someone to engage with it. And I also really enjoy the extreme closeups that pull back just enough to show the passion in your eyes and the emotion on your face as you play. The smile that beams from your face is proof enough of the power of music and art to touch the spirit and move us.

    I've met some folks Who say that I'm a dreamer And I've no doubt There's truth in what they say But sure a body's bound to be a dreamer When all the things he loves are far away And precious things Are dreams unto an exile They take him over The land across the sea Especially when it happens he's an exile From that dear lovely Isle of Inisfree And when the moonlight Peeps across the rooftops Of this great city Wondrous though it be I scarcely feel it's wonder or it's laughter I'm once again back home in Inisfree I wonder over green hills Through dreamy valleys And find a peace, no other land would know I hear the birds make music fit for angels And watch the rivers laughing As they flow And then into a humble shack I wander My dear old home and tenderly behold The folks I love Around the turf fire gathered On bended knee Their rosary is told But dreams don't last Though dreams are not forgotten And soon I'm back to stern reality But though they pave The foot ways here with gold dust I still would choose my Isle of Inisfree

  • @zachbecvar
    @zachbecvar Před 2 lety

    This is a really neat collaboration. It has a sense of whimsy and fun about it, mainly because it looks like you're on the set of some sort of children's program where the main character is a mad scientist. But the music itself is really chill and relaxing. It's present enough to keep attention, but it allows the mind to go for a ramble. Really well done.

    Alrighty then, Aisling and ZOiD; here we are 4 HOURS after LIVE ACTION, and I FINALLY watched and listened the the 20 minute performance. You ready for my review? First of all, Przemyslaw Barszczewski is either MORE Polish than Olenka and I combined, or those are the letters I read 24 days ago on the Doctor's Eye Chart before my surgery. 😏 Now for the individual grades: Aisling = 100% or an A+. ZOid = 94% or an A. Sadly, Zimmy did very little, so I give him a Low Grade of 63%, or D-. IMHO, he was really just a spectator and could have been sitting on the lap of the woman in front who wore a Polar-Bear fur coat. 🐻 I spent half the concert worrying that some activist was gonna spray red spray-paint all over her outer garment, thus ruining the occasion. 🙈 So harpy that never happened. Anyway, I digress. I am not counting Zimmy, since he did not perform up to his ablilities. Therefore, I give the TWO performers an average of 97% which is indeed an A+. 👏👏👏👏 One more thought about Zimmy: would his trainer please teach him to smile more? His blank stare kinda creeps me out a wee bit. 😱😱 Moving on...Aisling, the 2nd hand smoke from the smog machine was directed at you. I am therefore considering a "class-action" suit. Would you approve of that? If I do, do I file against Ballybla House or the Arts Council of Ireland? 🍀🍀 Thanks so much, Aisling and ZOiD! 🤗🤗 Please do not show my review to Zimmy; okay? 😬😬 I know he tried, and put in a LOT of practice for this awesome event, and NEVER would I wish to discourage him in his career. Love to all, Mícheál 💚💖
