Brutus x IFFR: C.A.N.V.A.S

An Uaimh Bhinn (“The Sweet Sounding Cave”) is a multidisciplinary project by artist and spatial sound composer Lugh O’Neill and experimental collective Temporary Pleasure. At its core is an installation featuring a performance among the basalt columns of Fingal’s Cave, a natural wonder on Scotland’s Isle of Staffa, famed for its cathedral-like acoustics and mythical ties to an ancient giant’s bridge.

Curated by Orpheu de Jong, a pivotal figure in Amsterdam’s music scene, the exhibition transforms the space into a dynamic environment for innovative music and performance. Shifting between exhibition, installation, and stage, it offers a constantly evolving acoustic and spatial experience.

The first of two performances at Brutus hosted during IFFR is presented by the artist’s record label and event series C.A.N.V.A.S., founded by Lugh O’Neil and Olan Monk with the goal of becoming a transnational fabric to connect individual practices and nodes of activity in contemporary music and live performance.
