A Room For Improvement started in late 2008 as an attempt to marry an early interest in sound to a growing collection of minimal, meditative videos. Since Febuary 2009, I have performed a number of live sound sets over video tryptichs under the two recurring titles of Haiku (concerned with forces of nature and the complex dynamic systems observable through them) and Senryu (concerned with human nature and folly) at various art events around Dublin.
A Room For Improvement can also be found developing a set of live video mixes to the eclectic turntable stylings of Mongoman Steve (also known as Steve) in Thomas House, Thomas St, Dublin 8 of a Sunday evening after the weekly classic film.
A Room For Improvement is open to collaboration with video and sound artists. Make contact via Email at aroomforimprovement (at) gmail (dot) com or use Facebook or Myspace if yr a member of either of those sites
