 
Commissioned by The Model as part of model::offsite, Relay is
an online music project devised and curated by Chequerboard.
The idea is to create a chain or collection of music pieces by
Irish and international artists where each work is directly influenced
by the one before, creating an open ended but linear, conversation
of ideas. On finishing their work each artist is asked to gather
a cluster of sounds from their track for the next participant who
is free to include them or not. Some responses are purely conceptual.
The project will continue
indefinitely and all works are available to listen to, and download,
for free at the Relay
minisite.

Each piece will have it’s own listening
