'Sobre Mesa' (first of the Fantasy Dinner series)

'Sobre Mesa' video and soundscape by Frieda Meaney 2021

'Sobre Mesa means the time spent around the table after dinner talking to the people with whom you shared the meal'

This is a project I worked on over the lockdown period when I was missing people and came up with a wishlist of guests I would invite to dinner if I could! It was inspired by Bob Dylan selling all his archives and I wondered what would he do with the money and I thought of all these people who could suggest ways to help him put it to good use.

Tablescape by Frieda Meaney in Ardgroom Beara Co. Cork. Ireland

 

The soundscape was composed using recordings made by Tom Lawrence of the underwater sounds of water beetles and other water bugs in Pollardstown Fen, Co.Kildare.

Each of these water insects are known to produce sound through a process called stridulation.
