About Anthony Kelly and David Stalling
Anthony Kelly and David Stalling have been collaborating on a series of sound and visual works since 2003. Together they make sound and video installations. Their work encompasses a shared practice of recycling 'objets trouveés' of sound, visual and text material in their ongoing collaborative sessions. The juxtaposition of contrasting material results in a series of audio/ visual 'musique concrète' pieces. Kelly and Stalling also perform live improvisations, as a duo as well as with others, such as The Quiet Club, Barbara Lüneburg, Robert Curgenven, Kevin Tuohy and Jennifer Walshe. Some of their recent performances include The Guesthouse, Cork, 2013; Just Listening, LSAD Limerick, the i-and-e festival 2011, Dublin, Sonic Vigil, Cork, The Goethe- Institut,Dublin, Hilltown New Music Festival, Visual in Carlow, Soundwave 2, Cobh, and Kaleidoscope at The Odessa Club. They founded the sound art label Farpoint Recordings in 2005, publishing projects by artists such as Fergus Kelly, Strange Attractor, Stephen Vitiello, Danny McCarthy, The Quiet Club and Linda O'Keeffe amongst others alongside their own work.

He has curated and produced numerous festivals and events. He is a founding member and artistic director of the EAR ensemble (2002-2009).
