my warts-and-all set from Open Ear. I hadn't played this style of music in two years and it was great hearing these tunes out on a powerful rig, with people dancing and wooping. There's only so much ambient music a guy can make before the cravings for heaviness and groove get too much. 

Big thanks and respect to Dion and Chris and all the festival crew for doing it so right.


I wrote several of these tunes for the gig. Some are reworked versions of tunes written recently, and some are due for release this year on Earwiggle.

Open Ear Set 4 - 06 - 16

I am a music maker and designer based in Ireland. I have released broken genre dancefloor tunes on Touchin' Bass, Mantrap Recordings and several other labels over the years. For a long while I concentrated on making abstract ambient / noise music, under my own name and as Withering Zithering. Now when I make time for making music (which is not as regularly as it should be unfortunately) I tend towards making beats. 

Everything I do in one way or another references music or sound as a creative material. I like playing gigs, I like teaching children about how sound works, and I like making instruments that people can make their own music with. 

If you want to book me for a gig, get in touch here or through my website, www.eddevane.com.
