I am a composer/musician/performer and all round music lover based in Dublin, Ireland. I have been writing music for the past 20 years and have been greatly inspired by living in such places as Berlin, London, York, Paris and Dublin. In general my music stems from the electro-acoustic world and its core technique is based on the pratices of musique concrète. Over the years this has expanded and been influenced by more improvised and instrumental territories derived from a deep exploration of instrumental timbre through collaborative projects with a large number of solo musicians.

My work is deeply textural and developed through complex layering techniques. For the most part each piece is highly collaborative as I work closely with musicians to find out what their instruments can do. Over the years I have recorded a wide range of instruments from the standard orchestral choices to the Ondes Martenot and adapted viola. Each player offers something new to the mix and so each piece is unique to the player(s) involved.

I will continue to explore different instruments and also different instrumental styles expanding out of the classical domain and into jazz, world music, traditional and popular styles to see what I can learn from them.

I ran a night called Listen at Lilliput with Laura Hyland and we put on music events every second month at Lillliput Press in Stonerbatter Dublin. www.facebook.com/listenatlilliput

Over the years my work has been performed by numerous ensembles in Europe and North America including Concorde ensemble (Ireland), Crash ensemble (Ireland), Evlana (Ireland), Bradyworks (Canada) and Percussemble (Germany). I have also worked/recorded closely with a great many wonderful musicians such as Lina Andonovska (flute), Matthew Jacobson (drums), Martin Johnson (cello), Kate Ellis (cello), Malachy Robinson (double bass), Michelle O’Rourke (mezzo soprano), Garth Knox (viola), Natasha Lohan (mezzo soprano), Rolf Hind (piano), Paul Roe (clarinet), Jane O’Leary (piano), Laura Moody (cello), Beau Stocker (percussion), Damien Harron (percussion), Panayiotis Demopoulos (piano), Valerie Pearson (violin), Elisabeth Smalt (adapted viola), Nathalie Forget (Ondes Martenot), Andre Leroux (tenor saxophone) and many more. See my LIVE page to find out who played on what.

After completing my PhD by composition at the University of York, UK in 2009 I returned to Ireland to re-establish myself on the Irish music scene. Since then I have expanded my musical output by writing for theatre (OFF PLAN by Simon Doyle), putting together a multidisciplinary festival called Sensorium with two colleagues of mine from York, Angie Atmadjaja and Emily Kalies and accompanying composer/songwriter Laura Hyland on vocals under the name Clang Sayne. Myself and Laura also run a night bi-monthly called Listen at Lilliput which aims to promote people who are exploring their music in interesting ways. It is held in Lilliput Press, Stoneybatter, Dublin on the last Sunday of every second month. 

I am a co-founder of The-Link-Project organization, alongside Angie Atmadjaja, Emily Kalies and Enrico Bertelli, through which the music festival “Sensorium” was presented in March 2011 at Project, Cube, with funding from a music project award from the Arts Council of Ireland. This festival aimed to promote music in innovative arrangements including contemporary music, improvisation, electronic music, electro-acoustic music, music and video, music and dance and performance art along with other co-creative media.
