Áine O’Dwyer is a composer and performer residing between Ireland and the UK.
Her 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 structure. The notion of place stands as a cornerstone of O'Dwyer’s practice, a compositional methodology in which the relation between situated speaking and real-time listening is fully embraced. O'Dwyer has performed her work internationally, and her recorded releases include Music for Church Cleaners (2015), Locusts (2016), Beast Diaries (2017), Gegeinschein (2016), Gallarais (2017), and Poems for Play (2018) published on her publishing imprint Cloch. In 2019, O’Dwyer performed Time Time Time, an operatic ensemble work written by Jennifer Walshe and Timothy Morton, which premiered at Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ as part of Sonic Acts Festival.
