"Thought is born of failure. When action satisfies there is no residue to hold the attention; to think is to confess a lack of adjustment which we must stop to consider. Only when the human organism fails to achieve an adequate response to its situation is there material for the processes of thought, and the greater the failure the more searching they become."
Lancelot Whyte

http://www.thedock.ieIn May 2006 Stephen Rennicks created a trail to a previously lost lake in Co. Roscommon. This original incarnation of ‘Black Lough’ posed questions regarding imagination versus reality. It gave the public the choice of leaving the lake lost and allowing its image to form in their imagination or following the trail and discovering its realities for themselves.
'Black Lough' now goes indoors at The Dock, taking on installation form in the shape of projected slides, audio and more.

The album 'Transmute' by Black Sea Project which is the fruits of a two year electro tinged collaboration between Stephen Rennicks and Tim Smyth(That Boy Tim/Takeover Sound). The other is 'Memory Triptych' by Secret Society which over 3 tracks explores the memories of person, place and thing and uses as it's sound source music from E+S=B and field recordings from a Dennis McNulty live show held at Temple Bar Galleries in 2003.
