Glissen
Glissen are Kate McKeon and Jimmy Behan who met while they were both studying for an M.Phil in Music & Media Technologies in Trinity College, Dublin. They began working together in 2007, through a shared love of combining acoustic and electronic sounds. Their work features a wide variety of sources including vocals, guitars, psaltery, chromaharp, bells, ethnic percussion, accordion, found sounds, contact mics and live electronic processing. This wide palette of colours is also explored through Kate’s accompanying video work. They performed a number of shows in 2007, including at the Dublin Electronic Arts Festival, Last Tuesdays - Dame Lane, Maximum Joy (Dublin), and Stress!! (Galway) and have since taken time out to make more recordings.
