'Double Trio' is written for three improvisers playing saxophone, double bass and drums and three classical musicians playing violin, vibraphone and harp and takes its initial inspiration from speech rhythms and melodies. The material comes from a number of interviews composer Ian Wilson conducted with residents of the Glencullen area of south Dublin, where they discussed how they felt about the changes the area had undergone or not during the time of the Celtic Tiger economic boom. The intention was to create an exciting and inventive musical work and at the same time attempt to paint a musical picture of life at that point in Glencullen, one of the least spoiled parts of Ireland and, paradoxically, one of the areas which had seen most development (depending on which part of Glencullen you are in).
The musicians are Cathal Roche, saxophonist, Daniel Bodwell, bass and Stu Ritchie, drums plus Mia Cooper, violin, Cliona Doris, harp and Richard ODonnell, vibraphone.
'Double' Trio lasts approximately 55 minutes and is in eight main sections, each one inspired by one of the interviews.
