Ya slip ta bang was made in Dublin by Matthews and the Bicrophonics team working with author Mia Gallagher and her stunning debut novel ‘Hellfire’ (Penguin Ireland 2006), mapped to an hours ride for you to take through the city. Revealing often ignored under-layers, Ya slip ta bang is made from the story of recovering heroin addict Lucy Dolan as she walks home through the city triggering violent memories of her difficult past. Mia’s voice reads and Matthews’ music jabs and lifts alongside, immersing the rider in a transformed city as they follow the route/the score through its streets.
Ya slip ta bang was commissioned by the Science Gallery, Dublin for SOUND CHECK, 9.6 – 24.9. 17 with eight sonic bikes available for audience riders to take through the city. The route, the score, below.
This is Matthews 12th sonic bike composition.
