Current Work
Daire is a sonic and visual artist whose practice integrates technology to create immersive audience experiences. His work incorporates spatial audio, custom-built controllers for performances, and sensor-based interactivity. Beyond his art practice, he hosts an experimental electronic music night(Fronics), providing a platform for both established and emerging performers to experiment and push creative boundaries.
An example of his work is Sonic Abstractions, a project that exemplifies his innovative approach to art and technology. Daire developed a methodology for collaboration between sonic and visual artists by inventing a custom device and software. This system allows audiences to scan paintings, creating unique soundscapes based on the gesture of their scan. The first piece in the series draws inspiration from the duality of themes associated with the Hellfire Club in the Dublin Mountains. Participants interact with an abstract painting, and their movement across the artwork generates an electroacoustic soundscape crafted from field recordings. This installation offers a deeply immersive experience, exploring themes of transformation, interconnectedness, and hidden harmonies through the interplay of sound and visual art.
