The clatter of an old manual typewriter; the crackle of static as a television comes on; the whirr of a phone dial; people whistling; the crinkle of an aluminum bottle top; the hum of an electric milk float - these are just some of the sounds that are becoming part of the past.
Mar chuid den fhéile Imram, an fhéile litríochta Gaeilge, beidh na filí Marcus MacConghail, Doireann Ní Ghríofa, Proinsias Mac A' Bhaird agus Máire Dinny Wren ag léamh dánta nua le fuaimrian a chruthaigh an ceoltóir, Fergus Kelly in Amharclann Powerscourt, Dé Sathairn 2 Nollaig.
Labhair muid le Marcus agus Fergus faoina bhfuil pleanáilte don imeacht agus faoi na dúshláin a bhaineann leis an bpróiséas cruthaitheach.
Deir Marcus go raibh sé ag streachailt idir a bheith "rómhaoithneach agus a bheith ag féachaint siar an t-am go léir" nuair a tugadh teideal an tionscnaimh dó agus go ndearna sé cinneadh an lá atá ann inniu a ionramháil ón todhchaí, spreagtha ag an scannán The Farthest, le hEmer Reynolds.
Fergus, a musician and sound sculptor sees his role in projects as underscoring the work of the poets to 'amplify what they're talking about' from his sound archives and by inventing new sounds. He describes Marcus' work for the project as 'cosmic' and suggests the only way to get the sound right is intuitively. Fergus' accompaniment to Marcus' poetry as 'free floating, atmospheric', using metal percussion and urban industrial sounds.
Beidh The Library of Lost and Vanishing Sounds/ Leabharlann na bhFuaimeanna Caillte nó ag Dul i Léig ar siúl Dé Sathairn, 2 Nollaig in Amharclann Powerscourt. You can buy a ticket for the event here.
