Featuring works from:

Benny Turner | Multi-sensory environments
The main focus of Benny's research is the impact of music and sound within the context of community music and music therapy. Benny has been exploring the effectiveness of multi-sensory environments, the benefits of using low-cost adaptive music technologies, and technical solutions for providing greater access to meaningful music making for people with complex needs.

Jack Weallans | Apart / A Part
Probing at the current discourse around artificial intelligence and its impact on art and industry, this audiovisual project uses computer generated visuals, machine-learning and experimental music to provoke deeper thought on the potential social, emotional and philosophical impact of emergent technologies on the human experience (Note: Contains strong language and mention of drug abuse, mental illness and death).

Theo Porter-Passingham
Discover Theo's exploration of multi-channel immersive audio FX in a live performance. Featuring a d&b Audiotechnik Soundscape system, custom sound effects, and collaboration with three artists, this presentation offers a 5.1 surround sound recording of the event. Theo will be sharing their insights into the creative process, highlighting the potential of innovative audio design in live music performance.

Seamus Maguire | Realise
The ‘Realise’ project is an art installation composed of six movements of music, each inspired by an elements of nature. This series of movements has been arranged to form a linked verse of haiku poetry. This project seeks to express these natural elements through the creation of an immersive audiovisual environment, providing an experience that encourages complete engagement, to the extent that a person may temporarily disengage from their sense of self.
