Singing Hollow
(2025)
[240]
A performance installation for church bells (method ringers), organ, and walking instruments. Designed around St Audoen's Church, Dublin but adaptable to new spaces. Two computers required.
Singing Hollow
(2025) [240]
The linked website includes documentation, a web-based score and much more detailed information about the piece.
The Singing Hollow sculpture in St Audoen's Park invites visitors to put their heads into a hole inside a rock. It creates an acoustic transformation reminiscent of the feeling of sanctuary from the outside world that comes when you walk into a church. This inspired this live sound installation: organ plays inside the church, musicians play in the grounds, and church bells bridge both worlds, all playing parts that are both independent and interdependent.
In the original performance, the piece is designed for four outdoor instruments, six church bells (each one rung by an individual) and an organ. It was specifically written for St Audoen’s Church of Ireland, which is an incredibly old church.

The CAMPAIGN FOR FREE MUSIC believes that there is no justification for claiming ownership over art. We have created this website as a means to educate artists and the public about how they can dedicate their work to the public domain, and why this could be better for everyone.
Currently, the site is a work in progress.... but we hope that we are already helping you to reconsider the perceived primacy of material, and re-evaluate their notions of ownership and even authorship when it comes to music (and intellectual property generally).

tHaasX
(2023)
A generative implementation of the famous and amazing THX deep note, where random voices convene on a major chord. I added extra overtones to make it sound like a G.F. Haas piece. With a multi-dimensional oscilloscope to represent the sound in coloured lines. Unique each time you run it! Implemented using WebAudio (actually the first experiment I ever made with WebAudio, a couple of years ago), and animated using the built-in FFT analysis from WebAudio, coupled with HTML Canvas (just did this part yesterday). Because there are a huge number of oscillators + all the FFTs, it's quite heavy...so it sounds prettier on a computer. I'm sure it would be possible to make a much more efficient version but I was more interested in trying out the visualisation this week than optimising the audio code!
Try it a few times! You can also layer multiple renditions on top of one another, as long as the computer can handle it!
ghost box
(2023)
generative website installation (with web radio)
ghost box
(2023)Inspired by an idea of Anaïs Fontanges, this is a web page that emulates ghost-hunting radio scanners as used by paranormal investigators. This idea sparked a period of fanatacism about radio and particularly about how the weird romance of the ephemerality radio somehow holds on even when you carry it into the digital domain (where the ephemerality is a little bit faked...)
It basically cycles randomly through a range of French and Irish web radio stations, with white noise faking a transition between stations! But sure the REAL ghost boxes are fakes too, aren't they....>>??????
