Lonesome Sway by Rob Moloney

Rob Moloney’s adaptation of his score for Luke Murphy’s live contemporary dance show, Volcano. Produced by Attic Projects, the “psychological sci-fi thriller” was nominated for Best Soundscape, and won Best Production, at the 2021 Irish Theatre Awards. 

This emotive, dynamic and beautifully recorded album combines lush string trio arrangements with elements of post-rock, noise and poetry to explore themes of isolation, fleeting moments of intimacy, and failing to make sense of the world. Throughout the album, Moloney endeavours to perforate the melancholic haze with delicate moments of beauty alongside eruptions of a long-restrained explosive energy.

Stories connect people with each other, let us dream, give us laughter and cut to the living flesh. Design for performance is a vessel which carries the story on the journey through the imagination, helping to immerse the audience deep in the world of performance, and to experience connection between these two worlds. Using various mediums, techniques and processes, only designers know why and how the choices are made to visualise this magic.

PechaKucha presentations are a storytelling format in which a presenter (or various presenters) shows 20 slides for 20 seconds of commentary each. At a PechaKucha event, individuals gather at a venue to share personal presentations about their work.

They were introduced as a platform for young designers to come together, showcase their work, and exchange ideas.

We’re delighted to showcase The Pit Collective: Peter Daly, Noelle Brown, Esosa Ighodaro, Dee Roycroft and Catherine Fay, and many more!
