Mel Keane is a composer and visual artist from Dublin. Often using tradition as a point of departure, his multidisciplinary approach to sound utilises acoustic and electro-acoustic tools, physical instrumentation, sampling, and sequencing, and draws from Irish traditional music, musique concrète, laptop emo, and sound system music. He has published projects and performed live under his given name, as Frog of Earth, and as a member of the ensemble Princ€ess.

His current research practice is centred around the pipe band tradition of Ireland, the musical output of which he will present at Café Oto. The set investigates the immediate, microtonal and trance-inducing properties of pipe bands using DIY chanter pipes, software, and electronics.
