New album pays tribute to a man who brought a German avant-garde approach to Cork's arts scene 

Cork’s Lockdown Sounds gathers some of the city's leftfield musicians together in memory of Gunther Berkus, who had lived on Leeside for over four decades 

Some of the musicians who contributed to  Still, Life - Cork’s Lockdown Sounds. 

A new compilation from some of Cork's experimental music-makers has been dedicated to the late Günther Berkus, a stalwart of the arts scene in the city, who passed away in September.

Something of a visionary musician, Berkus had moved to Cork from Germany over four decades ago, where he became a regular contributor to all manner of sonic and artistic events. Certainly in Cork terms he was a pioneer of computer music, and his track ‘Autumn Came Gently to Shandon this Year’ provides an elegiac end to the CD.
