Driftworks: New Music on the Atlantic Edge

Electric Circus presents Driftworks: New Music on the Atlantic Edge

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: Amanda Feery, Ailís Ní Ríain, John McLachlan, Paul Roe, El Putnam, Linda O’Keeffe and Peter O’Doherty.

This evening features Amanda Feery, whose works span contemporary classical, experimental electronics, and multimedia collaboration; 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; El Putnam, an artist-philosopher working in performance art, video, sound, and digital media; Linda O’Keeffe, fusing field recordings, electroacoustic textures, and improvisation in site-specific works; and Peter O’Doherty, merging performance, sound and electronics into bold, interdisciplinary experiences.
