Earth Speakr: Important Messages
5:00 pm IST
Online
Earth Speakr is a new work of art by Berlin based Icelandic-Danish artist Olafur Eliasson, devised on the occasion of the German Presidency of the Council of the European Union 2020. Earth Speakr consists of a playful app and an interactive website (in all 24 official EU languages), as well as physical presentations in key locations. To amplify kids’ ideas and concerns about the wellbeing of our planet, Olafur Eliasson and his team are working with a growing network across the EU, including museums, schools, and libraries to expand the reach of this collective artwork. Are you ready to listen to the future?
The project is funded by the German Federal Foreign Office and realised in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut.

Concert
Prog Rock Grooves: Jaki Liebezeit & the Nature of Rhythm
7:00 pm IST
Online
These are ancient, borderless ideas whose time has come...they liberate drumming, and rhythm, from the traditional Western strait-jackets of bars and time signatures. This show owes its musical structure to these ideas and rules which Jaki uncovered and developed alongside Drums Off Chaos and Burnt Friedman.The piece is called "110-22".
If these rhythms appeal to you, you can find out more about their genesis in the recent book "Jaki Liebezeit - Life, Theory and Practice of a Master Drummer" published last year by Unbound ( https://unbound.com/books/jaki-liebezeit/ ).
This show pays homage to one of the great musical innovators of the late 20th Century and beyond. His elegant, insistent grooves are owed a great debt by much of contemporary popular music, from techno to Kanye West, and his continuing influence in Germany ranges from Bernd-Alois Zimmermann to Burnt Friedman, and from Joachim Witt to Klaus Dinger to Michael Rother.
Bryan O’Connell (composer) – drums & percussion
Stephen Shannon – bass guitar, electronics & synthesiser
Matthew Nolan – electric guitar & synthesiser
Seán Mac Erlaine – piano, electronics, chalumeau & car horn
