Recorded live in 360 video and audio at the MMT 20 year Celebration Concert, Samuel Beckett Theatre, Trinity College Dublin, October 21st, 2016.

Composed by George Higgs.
Performed by George Higgs, Neimhin Robinson, & the Crash Ensemble.
360 recording by Enda Bates.

Music involves much more than hearing. All of our senses – arguably 9 in number - are in fact collaborating in our musical experience as a kind of ‘sense ensemble’. This composition is the second in an experimental research series exploring approaches to music composition for deaf audiences; or more generally music that appeals to the multiple senses responsible for our appreciation of music. The performance features smoke ring cannons, two signing percussionists and string quartet. Many thanks to Neimhin Robinson (smoking signer), Dr Dermot Furlong (nonsmoking supervisor), Jessica Kennedy(choreographic consultant), and the Irish Research Council.
