We are going to Cork…

SYNAESTHESIA is travelling south for a wild and wonderful Saturday night show in the beautiful St.Peter’s Church, Cork. 

This will be our final show of the year and a particularly memorable one, in a stunning setting in one of Ireland’s most creative and inspiring cities. 

Updates, notions and wild ideas coming soon… taken in Cork, Ireland by @final_animal

The Funflower Portal is an interactive art installation powered by @touchdesigner that lets users play music and control video footage collaboratively

Three people at a time can stand in front of a sensor and each of them can control a timelapse of plants growing with their left hand and their own arpeggiated sequence of musical bells playing in Ableton with their right hand.

I had massive help from @alihesnan, @laura_aura__ , and Mark Hatton making and paper macheing on the hottest day of the year (míle buíochas!) as well as on-site assistance from Garreth from the build crew at this years' magical @ealulegra festival!

Here's to many more to come. Scroll right to see more of the Funflower Portal in action 🌻❤️ by @final_animal

Our Funeral for Ashes project last year was the pilot research case study that has laid the groundwork for the Galway International Arts Festival carbon footprinting programme 

Initially a commentary on the destruction of Irish woodlands due to negligence from Coillte and or government, I'm pleased to see the work is also contributing to a wider conversation on climate action and the arts.

It was an honour! The work continues ☀️🪾 by @final_animal

 A huge shout out to the wonderful @synaesthesia.live crew we have performed through winds and rain and all terrain and always create something magical ✨ 
Every show totally unique every line up magically mind blowing 😍

I want to thank you all for another fabulous weekend. It’s an honor to be part of such a multitalented multi dimensional team, here’s to another year. 
And I’d like to thank our amazing audience and whoever shouted out ‘You’re a bunch of rides’ at the end THANK YOU and may the Goddess shower you with joy forever and ever. 

Thank you Uisneach for a memorable weekend again ❤️‍🔥

Some clips of my work with SYNAESTHESIA earlier this month.

What a beautiful show! It has genuinely been such an honour to work with such talented artists, and I'm looking forward to our upcoming dates later in the year.

For now, just a post to showcase some of the tech:

- Arduino laser harp controlling visual effects and scene changes in the projected images, all of which were made in #touchdesigner
- The harp is also sending MIDI signals from TouchDesigner to Ableton, allowing me to play music with it
- Gesture controlling footage (left hand making the sun rise, right hand growing a plant) was also handled in TouchDesigner and with an Orbbec Femto Bolt camera

@touchdesigner is the common thread here as per usual!

Thanks a million to @eg_explores for taking these videos 🙏🙏

We have more lovely footage and photos to share from the show, and more dates planned. Stay tuned!

The Lost Songs returns to The Mick Lally Theatre on 18 April — a true story of ransomware, loss, and the long road back to stolen music.

In 2017, a hard drive of original recordings was locked by the GandCrab virus. A frantic attempt to recover them led into the dark web and an emptied bank account days before Christmas. Instead of celebrating, Christmas Day became a rebuild‑from‑memory marathon.

Those tracks stayed sealed away until 2021, when new decryption tools finally cracked them open.

This performance brings that journey to the stage through storytelling, sound, audience participation, brand‑new live visuals by Conor Maloney, and a short live band set to close the night. The theatre becomes a reactive landscape of loss, distortion, and resurrection.

We are live in under 24 hours for our sold-out SYNAESTHESIA show in Nun's Island! Here's a sneak peak of the laser harp powered by @touchdesigner which plays audio and changes visual scenes. 

Wait until the smoke machine hits the beams!

Playing images with movement is one of many different synaesthetic elements throughout the collective performance. See you there! ❤️

On 18 April, The Lost Songs returns to The Mick Lally Theatre - A true story of ransomware, loss, and a four‑year fight to resurrect stolen music.

In 2017, a hard drive of original recordings was encrypted by the GandCrab virus. A desperate attempt to recover them led into the dark web… and a drained bank account days before Christmas. Christmas Day became a rebuild‑from‑memory marathon instead of a celebration.

The tracks stayed locked away until 2021, when decryption tools finally cracked the case. 

This performance blends storytelling, sound, audience participation, brand‑new live visuals from Conor Maloney, and a short live band performance to close the night.

The stage becomes a reactive landscape of loss, distortion, and resurrection.

Aligning the diodes on my DIY laser harp which I'll be using in Friday's performance with @synaesthesia.live !

The harp uses lasers instead of conventional strings and can play audio as well controlling images and 3D models in our projected visuals.

I'm using an #arduino microcontroller board as the brain, sending MIDI out of #touchdesigner into #ableton and also controlling the light thresholds from my phone using Open Stage Control.

This is just one small element of what's going to be an action-packed show featuring many different disciplines from live painting, live electronic music, gongs, drumming, singing, Irish spoken word poetry, and live audioreactive visuals controlled by physical gestures in front of camera sensors.

And a laser harp.

Catch our first performance of the year at Nun's Island Theatre, tickets available searching SYNAESTHESIA on Eventbrite.com

See ye there!
