Delicious 9 animation crew and Front End Synthetics (FES) have a long

standing relationship mixing visuals and music at events and music videos

over the years. Both launched 25 years ago this year and this is a celebration

of these endeavours. The launch party for FES happened in the Temple Bar

Music Centre (now Button Factory) and Delicious 9’s first outing was

performing visuals for Aphex Twin in the same venue in the same year.

Delicious 9 went on to create a large body of music video work before Youtube

appeared. Scrounging together animated visions that convinced RTE and

MTV to play their work late night, Del 9 created for acts such as Max Tundra,

Caribou, Luke Vibert, The Frames and more - featuring on Warp Records DVD

release and a full Caribou DVD release (named “Marino” after the Dublin

location of the house where the crew both lived and worked for several years).

For FES and Del 9, 25 years later, this is a fitting return to the building where it

all began in 2000.

Of One (Alan O’Boyle) is one half of Decal and Legion of Two, and all of Legion

of One to name just some of his musical output. A legend of Irish techno,

electro and electronica. Having released on such a-list labels like Rotters Golf

Club, Planet-mu, D1, Leaf, Law & Auder and Saberettes, he has recently had

releases flying out over the past couple of years on various independent

labels, with a new LEGION OF ONE album out the weekend of this event on

Front End Synthetics (FES). This is his first full-length Of One performance

ever.

Colonel Modules (Trev O’Reilly) is one half of legendary electronic duo

Ambulance, another Planet-mu and Front End Synthetics favourite, who also

releases under Dave Nuremberg. Trev is another veteran of the Irish

electronica scene. Expect a full modular synth performance where anything

can go wrong, but it never does.

The Alpha Incident (Andy Clarke) made his debut release on the first ever

Front End Synthetics compilation “The Ground Floor”. A multi instrumentalist,

he was a founding member of the beloved 00s Dublin math rock outfit Connect

4 Orchestra and has been a stalwart of that epoch of Dublin indie, performing

and recording with acts such as Goodtime John and Jape.
