³ÉÈËÂÛ̳

Bloomsday, the 16th of June, the date upon which that most dazzling of modern novels, James Joyce’s Ulysses, is set. Like the book, the day offers a celebration of that most illustrious and musical of cities, Dublin. Joyce himself was a trained singer, forever bursting into song, and his obsession with music spilled into his book, just as the Bloomsday revellers spill into the Dublin streets. To mark this year’s event, Elizabeth Alker looks across the Irish Sea to find out what Dublin’s best ambient, experimental and neo-classical musicians are up to right now, as they seek out the ineluctable modality of the audible.
