  • Watch: Natalia Beylis and Tola Custy Short Film ‘Black Birds Slowed Down’

    May 5, 2020 - By 

    Dublin-born, Leitrim-based film maker and musician Willie Stewart has unveiled his latest film. A visual response to a residency held at Glor in Ennis, Co Clare with artist, musician and Stewart’s fellow Woven Skull member Natalia Beylis and musician Tola Custy, the half-hour long Black Birds Slowed Down is a quietly compelling documentary, honing in how artists different musical backgrounds compare approaches and influences on music and creativity.

  • Stream: The 343 Vol 1

    In virtually no time at all, Belfast’s 343 has established itself as a vital part of the city’s creative community.

Third in our series marks a leftfield turn in the form of one of Ireland’s most evocative sonic artists, Natalia Beylis.

The band – who featured two years ago in our 17…

  • Natalia Beylis w/ AR~DS, Branwen Kavanagh, Little Movies @ A4 Sounds, Dublin

    April 23, 2018 - By 

    Hunters Moon presents An Evening of Experimental Performance + Sound took place in the gallery room of A4 Sounds, an art space off Dorset Street in Dublin’s north inner city. The night began in relaxed fashion, as Little Movies, the duo of Ben Donohue and Morgan Buckley, sat on stage facing each other across their modular synths. It looked like a game of Battleship and sounded like an alternate-universe take on ‘Dueling Banjos’. Two opposing banks of sound played out throughout the performance: one, a series of rippling waves, floating bubbles that shifted and grew to different shapes and sizes;…
