Dublin based artists David Stalling (Germany) and Anthony Kelly (Ireland) are collaborating on a series of sound and visual pieces. Their collaboration encompasses their shared practice of recycling 'objets trouveés' of sound, visual and text material taken from their ongoing collaborative sessions. The works are collages of everyday noise and original music snippets taken from accumulated field recordings and old personal cassette tapes. The juxtaposition of contrasting material results in a series of miniature 'musique concrète' pieces.
