Áine O’Dwyer is a multi-disciplinary artist, musician, composer and performer whose work is informed by both the conceptual concerns of sound-art and traditional compositional techniques, embracing the broader aesthetics of sound and its relationship to environment, time, audience and architecture. She has created performances and recorded works which often allow for both planned and chance events to co-exist in an attempt to bind together both the intrinsic and extraneous in real-time. Recent presentations include Old Songs, a performance installation commissioned by Oscillation festival, Brussels and Sing in the Dark for voice and Acousmonium performance at Archipel festival, Switzerland.

We’re thrilled to have been working with Áine to present four events, two of which take place in The Old Church in Stoke Newington where Áine has been developing pieces especially for this residency.

The Old Church, Stoke Newington, Sunday 21st June, 7 30pm

Áine O'Dwyer - Channeled Wind
Written and developed in The Old Church between 2005- 2026

Channeled Wind is a composition for the Bishop and Son pipe organ, inspired by its distinct sounding air flow through the pipes while operating the keys. The piece features the Clarabella, a unique stop which was invented by Bishop and Son and incorporates spatial elements in and around the vicinity of the Old Church.
