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, Amanda Feery, Ailís Ní Ríain, Linda O’Keeffe and Peter O’Doherty.

At the Yeats Building in Sligo, the evening features Robert Curgenven, shaping architecture and weather into vast, resonant sound worlds; Amanda Feery, whose works span contemporary classical, experimental electronics, and multimedia collaboration; Ailís Ní Ríain, blending a bold compositional language with textural innovation and sound installation; Linda O’Keeffe, fusing field recordings, electroacoustic textures, and improvisation in site-specific works; and Peter O’Doherty, whose electronic works create evocative new listening experiences.
