Afternoon Frequencies is a live electronic music series at the Queen’s House, with performances taking place in the Great Hall on selected Fridays.
On Friday 17 July, Brona Martin performs with the Buchla Music Easel, a semi-modular analogue synthesiser. Her live performances explore its ever-changing palette of textures, tones, and gestures, with each piece emerging through a process of discovery.
Moving between composition and improvisation, Brona invites listeners into immersive sound worlds that reveal the Music Easel's extraordinary expressive potential.
About Brona Martin
Brona Martin is an electroacoustic composer and sound artist from Banagher, Co. Offaly, Ireland.
Her compositions explore narrative in electroacoustic music, acoustic ecology, oral history, sound and heritage, community engagement and spatial audio techniques. Brona's portfolio of works explore the layers and textures of sounds that contribute to the overall sonic-makeup of specific places both real and imaginary. Through listening, recording, analysing and processing, the layers of a soundscape are studied in great detail.
Her creative works offers an in depth and alternative listening perspective and experience where the complexity of everyday sounds are examined and rearranged into a new context. References are also made to the d sign of the acoustic environment where noise pollution often masks the more pleasant sounds of the natural environment.
Brona is a Lecturer in Music and Sound at the University of Greenwich where she teaches post-production sound and composition.
