Research

My artistic practice and research focuses on electroacoustic systems relating to chamber music, performance space augmentation, and sound installation. I am interested in exploring acoustic phenomena – often feedback derived from both real and virtual systems – in live situations, and embedding sounds or gestures into layers of automated live electronic processes. Below are links to a variety of papers, projects, and pieces relating to these areas.

Virtual Acoustics:

October 2021 – AES Las Vegas

Double Feature – or The Bard Cheek Takes the Night Shift at the Piano (Jan-Feb 2019)

for Disklavier with or without live performer, live electronics – modified virtual acoustic system, that is referred to in Methods for Performing with Feedback in Virtual Acoustics – and video. Please contact eoin.callery * ul.ie for access to the video documentation of this piece.

Icons of Sound and Capella Romana

An international interdisciplinary project led by Bissera V. Pentcheva and Jonathan S. Abel

My work on the Icons of Sound project included installing and configuring the recording equipment at CCRMA for the recording session with Capella Romana, and consulting/assisting at CCRMA with Jonathan Abel and Elliot Canfied-Dafilou on the  5.1 and Atmos mixes for the Lost Voices of Hagia Sophia album and Documentary Film .

Embedded Sounds and Gestures with Live Electronics:

Short Story

An interactive installation requiring headphones, MAX, Arduino, photoresistors, and found objects.

*****

Who Heard What and When

For cello, prepared Disklavier (the Disklavier is prepared with several hard cover books placed across and dampening all of the strings), and live electronics controlling feedback generating variable band-pass filters. These live electronics operate independently of the performer. Performed by the incredible Séverine Ballon

*****

There Be Treasure/Cookies!

An interactive installation using MAX, Arduino, Photoresistor… and cookies

*****

Skry 2

In Skry 2 a photoresistor is placed underneath a bowl of water. Food coloring is added to the water. The pitch of the electronic sound world changes very slowly as the water changes color. Arduino and SuperCollider
