_bio_




Born in Ireland, living in Berlin, Germany since 2016.


With a hybrid background in new media arts, composition and science, transisciplinarity is my playing field. Interactive technology is the medium I use to probe the blurring boundaries between performer/audience and live sound/visuals. I blend emergent media and technology with visual art, electroacoustic composition and the performing arts.


My life has been greatly influenced by my experiences living in multiple cultures - the ancient magic of my Celtic roots in Ireland, the Warao indians in the Orinoco delta in Venezuala, the sounds of the primal Amazon jungle in Guyana, and the excitement and colours of Brazil.

The small or big acts of dedication to our family, friends, loved ones, and strangers can give us a feeling of exaltation, but are also often perceived as a burden.
