With full orchestra?

I wanted to bring your attention to a project I’m initiating, called Heterodyne. It’s a concept that involves inviting composers and musicians to ‘score’ roads, creating site-specific compositions for driving in Ireland and ultimately internationally.
The idea is you can traverse a landscape with a piece of music that has been made for it, creating a cinematic experience out of a seemingly ordinary journey. Its also meant to as a new commissioning platform for musicians.
Right now I have commissioned five composers whose work I really admire: Caoimhin O’Raghallaigh, Brendan William Jenkinson, Arrow Shower, Cian Nugent and Chequerboard, to score the Military Road in County Wicklow.
This first version will be funded by a Fund-it campaign. It would be amazing if you could post it and help me to spread the idea, as it’s critical that this first version gets funded but equally importantly, seen.
