Avant Reguard (Ireland/Berlin)

Salon bruit art spiel

Art only has the capacity, through shock and catharsis, to make the human soul receptive to good. It's ridiculous to imagine that people can be taught to be good... Art can only give food - a jolt - the occasion - for psychical experience. (Tarkovsky, 50)

Paul Prendergast aka Avant Reguard is an Irish born, Berlin based music producer/sound artist and filmmaker. His early music production activities involved making extremely lo-fi but incredibly detailed, dark and savagely humorous cassette samples utilising radio, other cassettes and microphones, on cheap double cassette decks(pause on, off and on and so on..)

Joined the pirate radio station Radio Active in Dublin in 1993 and fronted an experimental radio show for over 4 years, gathering together over 100 cassette shows of experimental tape to tape chopping, cutting and layering. Here he gained an appreciation and love of densely layered music, voice and live improvised microphone manipulations. He channeled the skills he honed in the radio studio onto the dj scene from 1998 up to the present day.
Original music production activities commenced in 1999 where he produced soundtracks to his own films. Though his sound is constantly changing and inevitably evolving, some constants include voice sample and found sound appropriations and recontextualisations, and densely layered lo fi hums, drones and environmental squeals. These elements usually combine to create an equally witty and dark aural sonic soundscape.
Paul will be presenting his current audio visual work “New Ireland City Sucks” this weekend.
