Five Scores for the Military Road

Five Scores for the Military Road is the first iteration of Heterodyne and five composers have created scores for sections of the Military Road, a nineteenth century route that passes through the Wicklow mountains. The composers are Caoimhín Ó'Raghallaigh, Cian Nugent, Chequerboard, ARROW-SHOWER and Brendan William Jenkinson.The five scores have been contextualized with an original soundscape of field recordings created by sound designer Tadhg O'Sullivan. Heterodyne is a new project that will commission composers and musicians to 'score' roads, ultimately creating a database of site-specific audio pieces for infrastructure throughout Ireland and internationally.
