Featured artists for Episode 2: Orla Wren & Norman Westberg

Orla Wren ( Scotland )

Based in a rural studio in the hills of Dumfries & Galloway in Scotland, sound artist Orla Wren makes electroacoustic music that uses the emotional space between analog and modular synthesis, field recordings, organic acoustic sounds and digital processing.

Norman Westberg ( New York )

Best known for his work with the seminal outfit SWANS, Westberg's output beyond that group is sprawling and restless. His name recurs and ripples through many interconnected micro-histories surrounding New York City's music and art scenes.

Each show will feature new work that will range from sound collage, voice, ambient, avant-garde, field recordings, electro acoustic or a hybrid of different forms. The pieces will be a deep listening experience, encouraging listeners to expand their conception of narrative and musicality. The programmes will be available on demand for a time period after the festival.

Featured artists for Episode 1: Claire Fitch & Diarmuid MacDiarmada

Claire Fitch is a sound artist, an electroacoustic composer, a creator of electronic literature and transmedia, cellist and lecturer. Her artistic practice is motivated by the investigation of the convergence of digital technology, audio, visuals, and text. Producing original works inspired by and responding to womens voices is a particular focus.

As a pro-wrestler, fine-artist, life-coach, poet, gravy-chef and composer – Diarmuid MacDiarmada has been many things to many people. Both as a solo-artist and in a multitude of groups and collectives, he toiled at the rock'n'roll coalface for thirty odd years. And they were very odd.
