We are thrilled to present our International Guest Artist in Residence for 2024, Sander Saarmets, at Áras Éanna Ionad Ealaíne Inis Oírr this Wednesday at 8:30pm.
Sander is an Estonian composer and electronic musician, known for creating music and soundscapes for various art forms, including film, contemporary dance and galleries. His music has been featured at New York Fashion Week and the Opening Program of Capital of Culture Bad Ischl Salzkammergut 2024. In 2023, his composition and the sky turned yellow (2022) was selected as one of the recommended works at the 69th International Rostrum of Composers in Hague. He has released albums under the monikers of Muschraum & V4R1. Sound in all of its beauty, power and fragility is Sander’s main field of interest, next to creating semi-open systems for both the players and the audience to get lost in.
He will perform a special showcase on Wednesday ahead of his residency beginning in November. Tickets are FREE and available at https://aras-eanna.ie/
This residency project is supported by The Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon International Residency Initiatives Scheme.
Galway Music Residency is delighted to partner with the Arvo Pärdi Keskus / Arvo Pärt Centre and the Estonian Centre for Contemporary Music on this intiative.
