Billy Steiger

Billy Steiger was born in Howth on the 16th December, 1986. Now he plays the violin.

“Then he sat down by a pond and began to play a tune. As he played, the most extraordinary thing happened. One by one the fish in the pond began to jump out and fly about in the air. And what is more, they were all different colours and they were singing to the music.”

Patrick, Quentin Blake.

Frances Young

Frances Young is an artist working with moving image and sound. She is currently completing a practice-based PhD at the Royal College of Art, London. With a background in painting, she began working with electronic sound in the early 2000s, and with film and video soon after. The relation between sound and image has been central to her work, with the practices of audio and video often intertwined; more recently sound has become a particular strand of her practice and research, operating on its own terms. Her contribution to Fieldnotes/Sessions,A Soundtrack, is presented as a soundtrack for a non-existent film, clips seen in the imaginary. Her work has been shown internationally and is in the collections of: David Roberts Art Foundation (London, UK); Gemeentemuseum, Helmond (Netherlands); University of the Arts London (UK); and private collections in the UK and USA.
