Production Manager - Cabal/ Bingo Loco/ Touch of Techno @ Student’s Union, UL, Limerick

Three back to back open air student events held for University of Limerick’s charity week 2020 involved working closely with different promoters and multiple shared suppliers. Successfully providing unique production design for three 2200 capacity events hosted at the same location on consecutive nights was both rewarding and a welcomed challenge. All events sold out and exceeded client expectations. Various media below…

Cabal is an independent brand that aims to promote Irish culture through events, music and clothing. My role included production management, scheduling and to oversee aspects of the event. This event was extremely successful, surpassed client expectations and was a credit to all involved.

Installation - Exploring the use of multi-channel digital audio analysis as a tool for live visual designers

The purpose of this project was to create an application that made use of multi-channel audio to manipulate aspects of live visual performances. This project explored obtaining multiple digital audio sources, processing the given audio in relation to human loudness perception and using the resulting data to control visual elements. Attention was concentrated on the usefulness of this process and its resulting data, the responsiveness of visual elements, and the resulting program integrating within a live visual workflow.

The aim of this project was to gain further understanding of how methods of audio analysis can be utilised efficiently for live use, while also exploring the limits of audio responsive functionalities available. This application has the ability to control individual elements of a design using isolated audio sources which creates opportunity for a more immersive visual experience.

The link between what sound an artist is producing live and the visual response, explores how these methods can be used for atypical applications, such as contemporary music. With digital audio networking at the forefront of the live audio industry, this technology has never been more accessible.  

This installation was designed as a means of both demonstrating and further investigating the usefulness of this tool. This visual display aimed to give a sense of how this software works across multiple different visual elements.

Throughout the project, the process has been directed towards not only utilising multi-channel audio, but exploring the usability and possibilities of processing multiple streams of audio for visual use. This was kept at the forefront from initial research, right through the project.

This project explored multiple different methods of audio analysis in relation to human loudness perception and uses calculations such as bark scale coefficients, with the aim of improving the relationship between audio and visual elements of a live concert setting. It was important to investigate means of implementation while still appealing to end users. During the development of this project many decisions were made with the end user in mind and aiming for an end result that is both advantageous and efficient to use.

The design of the installation for this project uses many different technologies and aims to create a meaningful display of this tool. Utilising technologies such as DMX, OSC, Art-Net and digital audio protocols helped give an understanding of this project, the aims and the outcomes. The resulting software tool of this project demonstrates some useful features for visual design and exploration of this area has been a successful learning experience. 

Location Recording + Mixing - KODU - Right Time

Location Recording + Mixing - Gearoid Buckley - The Underwood Typewriter

I teamed up with videographer Stuart Duffy on this project. I recorded and mixed the location audio used for this video.

Data-visualisation - A visualisation created in Processing which utilises audio analysis and the Twitter API

The purpose of this project was to create an audio-visual display in Processing. In this case a display of real-time data obtained using an application programming interface(API). Stemming from my on-going interest in music information retrieval, I used this project to explore the use of Twitter API data to describe audio in an interesting way. This project aims to use real-time data in an abstract way to try describe concepts such as type, emotion and feeling, alongside audio analysis data; a low-level audio descriptor.

Production Team - Electro-Voice X-Line Advance system @ Walking on Cars, 3arena, Dublin

Working with the team providing audio production for this event., my role as system technician was deploying and rigging the ElectroVoice X-Live Advance line array system used for this event. This event was also featured on prosoundweb.com
