Driftworks: New Music on the Atlantic Edge

Information

Driftworks traces Ireland’s Atlantic edge: six concerts, six unique evenings of discovery. From Letterkenny to Cobh, the programme varies from venue to venue, each concert revealing a shifting tide of sound - unique programmes anchored by the vibrant, uncompromising voices of some of Ireland’s leading composers and performers.

Music and performances by: Robert Curgenven, Ailís Ní Ríain, John McLachlan, Paul Roe, Brona Martin and Peter O’Doherty.

This evening features Robert Curgenven, sculpting immersive soundscapes from architecture, air, and electronics; Ailís Ní Ríain, whose textural and experimental compositions transform space into resonant listening environments; Paul Roe, who performs a work for bass clarinet and electronics by John McLachlan; Brona Martin, crafting spatially immersive works with field recordings, narrative, and multichannel sound; and Peter O’Doherty, merging performance, sound and electronics into bold, interdisciplinary experiences.
