uaigneach (lonely)

2025 · four synthesiser voices, quadraphonic sound and video projection · Soundscapes Festival, Brunel University London, 8 May 2025

Slow, aerial footage of the Irish landscape is projected over four sustained synthesiser voices that circle the audience: lakes scattered across a bog under a low sky, a tower house seen from directly above, ruined gables against a flat sea. The voices drift in level and wander around the performance space on slow, irregular paths.

Uaigneach was composed in VCV Rack and first performed at the Soundscapes Festival at Brunel University London on 8 May 2025. It has since been rebuilt in Max.
