Saturday 28 June - Phil Maguire - 3 p.m. €15 Phil Maguire is a Cork-based Scottish composer and sound artist, producing electronic sound works with synthesisers and computers. His experimental music practice explores emergence and emptiness, of self, machine, and space. It draws from practice-led research that includes composing, performing, and presenting works across the spectrum of minimalism. At the core of Phil’s work is an exploration of continuous and subtle movement in sound. He places timbre under the microscope in order to examine and highlight fine details of sound. In doing so, he invites listeners to engage deeply with electronic sound, uncovering moments of stillness that enable profound and personal experiences. Tickets €15 (incl booking fee) on Eventbrite.
