about

While recording the output of a Max patch through Blackhole and on into Logic, I noticed that some channels where distorting for no apparent reason. It wasn’t a sample rate issue, foldback, buffer issue, CPU overload, etc., and on some days it affected one channel and the next day it would affect a different channel. Strangely the distortion was not audible while monitoring the output of Logic live. I’m sure the cause is something very simple, which is staring me in the face, but for now, I’ve run out of time to figure it out! In any event, it sounds good and if it is never to be repeated so be it. And so, what you hear in this piece is a stereo track consisting of fragments of early music pieces reverberated by convolving them with impulse responses created from those same early music pieces — a process called auto-reverberation (www.aes.org/e-lib/browse.cfm?elib=21503) — which become, by accident, heavily distorted when recorded into Logic from Max. This stereo track is then reverberated one last time through one of my favourite impulses created during the auto-reverberation process. Th title of the piece is also a distortion — a play on the literal English translations of two places I have lived in Ireland — something that both adds to and obscures the original.

He is currently a lecturer and the course director for the Composition and Creative Music Practice MA in The Irish World Academy of Music and Dance at the University of Limerick. His art and research focus on electroacoustic systems relating to chamber music, performance space augmentation, and sound installation. This often involves exploring acoustic phenomena especially feedback derived from both real and virtual systems in live situations, and embedding sounds or gestures into layers of automated live electronic processes.
