Paul Roe [Clarinets]
"I began playing the
clarinet at age seven, thus began a lifelong fascination
with music. The process of making, learning and performing
music has always intrigued me. This passion continues
unabated. Now in my mid-forties it often feels like I am
only beginning to understand music. In the words of the
Japanese painter, Hokusai (who constantly sought to produce
better work) " if I go on trying I will surely
understand still better by the time I am eighty-six ".
Music has a peculiarly synesthetic quality for me; it
stimulates all the senses in a way that connects me to a
vividly visceral world, energized by sound."

Components Series
A performance series with a rare
difference, Components features a series of new works by Irish
composers developed over six concerts. Each week a collection of
New Irish music will be written and performed, each piece will
be recorded, developed and used to accompany a musician at
another performance in the series. This process will be repeated
so that you can follow the development of the composers work
through the series like a serial or a soap-opera.
Each concert will be podcast on this site each week, so that
you can listen back to the music or catch-up on the progress of
your favorite works. You can listen to the whole concert or
follow a particular composer through the series.
The Aim of this unprecedented concept, is to establish a
greater understanding of the compositional process and to make
creative Irish music more accessible. It is my hope that these
concerts will be followed each week by a healthy dialogue
between the audience the composers and the performers.
