We are delighted to welcome Francis Heery to our Seminar Series on Wednesday, 28th October, in Room CSG-001, Computer Science Building, University of Limerick.

Francis Heery (M.Phil, PhD) is an Irish improviser, sound artist, composer and curator based in Berlin. His work explores the intersections of experimental music, science fiction, surrealism and bio-aesthetics. Performing primarily with modular synthesisers, he creates dynamic and unpredictable sonic environments.

His compositions have been performed by leading ensembles, including the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra, Crash Ensemble, JACK Quartet and Quiet Music Ensemble. He is also co-founder of two Berlin-based concert series dedicated to improvised and experimental music, untergrün and Nexus.

Heery has received numerous awards and funding for his composition, performance and research, including support from the Arts Council of Ireland. He also releases experimental electronic music under the name The Cube Of Unknowing.
