Roger Doyle is known for his pioneering work as a composer of electronic music. 
He has worked extensively in theatre, film and dance, in particular with the music-theatre company Operating Theatre, which he co-founded with performer Olwen Fouéré.

Babel, his magnum opus, which took 10 years to compose, was released on a 5-CD set in 1999 and contained 103 pieces of music. It is a celebration of the multiplicity of musical languages and evolving technologies. 

Other works include a piano score for the Gate Theatre production of Salomé, directed by Steven Berkoff, which played in Dublin, London's West End and on three world tours. 
He has been commissioned by and toured with the Netherlands Wind Ensemble. Recent work includes the 3 hour electronic work Passades, a series of soundtracks for imaginary films -  a 'cinema for the ear' - for the National Symphony Orchestra and The Crash Ensemble. 

His electronic opera Heresy premiered at the Project Arts Centre, Dublin in 2016, and was released on a double album in 2018. Heresy is based on the life and work of Italian philosopher/monk Giordano Bruno who was burnt at the stake in 1600 as a heretic.

A feature documentary by filmmaker Brian Lally ‘The Curious Works Of Roger Doyle’ has recently been screened at various film festivals.

His second opera iGIRL was completed in 2020 and released on a double album in 2021, with the libretto by celebrated Irish playright Marina Carr.

He is a member of Aosdana, Ireland’s state-supported academy of creative artists. In 2019 he was elected by his peers to the higher honour of Saoi, conferred on him by the President of Ireland.
