Timeinbody & This Combobulation Association team up to present This Body Time Combobulation in Dublin's most punkest venue Mono's Bar in Dalymount. featuring Zkellies (Live) (APT Records) Maeve O Neill Richard B. (Industrial Lies) Zkellies Zkellies perform live techno played by hand & foot. It is music for dancing. The Zkellies show is an attempt to perform techno music according to Steve Reich’s principle of “no hidden structrual devices”. To this end, Zkellies utilise no backing tracks. No sequencers. No click track. Longtime Irish underground music stalwart Andy Connolly (Naive Ted, Unscene) has enlisted the renowned pair of Dan Walsh (Fixity) & Killian Barton (Bill Karnation) to create a series of short musical phrases designed to be played by two drummers, moving between these phrases in the same way as a DJ builds a set, performing a perceived “faithful” version of loop-based, dancefloor focussed, techno music. This particular strand of techno is traditionally created with sequencers controlling synthesizers & samplers. Zkellies is an attempt to take the sequencer out of the equation. Though the music is semi-improvised & experimental in nature, there is no wish to subvert the norms of the techno space, only a desire to perform the music respectfully & in a different way. It is music for dancing. *** Member Bios Andy Connolly has been DJing, composing & performing in the Irish underground for over 20 years. Initially coming to prominence as hip-hop DJ/turntablist & as a founder member of the worldwide Community Skratch collective, Connolly has moved through many aliases & spaces while remaining firmly on the fringes. His best known output is as Naive Ted, whose dancefloor focused turntable workouts led to his description as a “national treasure” in The Wire magazine. Dan Walsh is a drummer & multi-instrumentalist famed in experimental music circles for his work as FIXITY and as a member of seminal Irish bands including Junior Brother, The Bonk, Senior Infants, Elaine Howley, Council for the Dark Arts Orchestra & many more. He is founder & director of Cork Improvised Music Club. Kerryman Killian Barton first emerged as hip-hop beatmaker for shirt-lived but influential Irish rap group The Lung Doners. His subsequent Bill Karnation alias has evolved from early far-out synthesizer experiments to more recent dancefloor focussed excursions, earning him an enviable reputation as a live performer across the west coast of Ireland.
