Cutting edge from Ireland

Contemporary music composers usually don't have the hippest image, but the way the Irish Contemporary Music Center is serving them is about to change that.

Since last week Apple's iTunes is capable of serving podcasts, making it easier than ever for the general audience to listen to audioblogs (or downloadable radioprograms). Browsing through the list of padcasts in iTunes I came a across the podcast by the CMC containing an interview with the composer of the month Donnacha Dennehy. Visiting the CMC's website I discovered they also have some video fragments of this interview.

Although the recording quality of the interview can be improved, the CMC made me discover a small part of Irish culture on my iPod while I was commuting to my Dutch office.

For this I want to make the CMC a great compliment!
