Locked Groove - A Documentary

I am pleased to announce that editing is almost complete on a documentary film I have been working on for the last 2 months, 'Locked Groove'. This film documents a performance conceived and conducted by the Cork based DJ, writer and music historian John Byrne. The performance consisted of 20 people operating turntables playing records containing what is known as a 'locked groove' -  a sound that sits on the last groove of a record (usually) and loops until the machine is turned off. This all happened in Saint Finbarr's Cathedral in late July 2010 under the title 'Bricklayers Lament' as part of the Sonic Vigil Sound Art festival.

The film consists of interviews and footage of the preparations and performance itself along with animations by the artist Tom Doig and voice contributions from the noted musician and composer Giordaí ua Laoghaire. 


The film will be soon displayed in Cork for its first ever showing so watch this space for future developments...
