  • Music For Domes w/ RÓIS at Docs Ireland

    June 19, 2025 - By 

    One of the most quietly spellbinding events at this year’s Docs Ireland doesn’t take place in a cinema, but under a full 360° dome, in the night sky simulator of Armagh Planetarium. Premiering this Friday, June 20th, Music for Domes is a new immersive documentary experience that sees award-winning Irish artist and long-time TTA favourite RÓIS join forces with the always-visionary Hosta Projects for a journey unlike any other. Combining archival footage, sonic folklore and celestial cartography, the film draws uncanny parallels between two ancient cultures – Ireland and Cambodia – and how both map memory, myth and survival across…

  • Pavements at Docs Ireland 2025

    June 19, 2025 - By 

    One of the outright highlights of this year’s Docs Ireland (and there are many) Pavements is what happens when a band that made irony sacred becomes the subject of a documentary that doesn’t believe in borders.

  • Monday Mixtape: Big Sleep

    June 16, 2025 - By 

    Ahead of the release of their new single ‘Pick a Cheek’, Dublin-based indie quartet Big Sleep share a playlist of songs that have inspired them, from Big Thief to The Cleaners from Venus. Here’s what the band had to say about their selections – “We put together this playlist on the run for a recording session last year. It contains both songs that we like as a band and as individuals – but some of them were an inspiration for creating our music. So, this selection and its diversity wants to represent our general taste for music but also what…
