Jeffrey Weeter

My research incorporates four distinct creative practices: composing and performing music; composing video art; creating new interfaces (devices and technologies) for musical expression; and audio engineering. As a transdisciplinary artist and Emmy Award–winning audio engineer, my internationally recognised research output typically utilises all four of these practices. As a composer and performer of music and video, I have produced over 100 creative works for dance, theatre, and a variety of international performance venues. In the last twenty years, I have been mainly focused on composing original works that interrogate received notions of performance dynamics using emerging technologies and IoT devices. I have been awarded Arts Council Bursary funding, as well as commissions through the SFI-funded Building Dashboards project and the Cork International Film Festival. I am co-investigator of the IRC-awarded collaborative interdisciplinary research project ‘Loop Love.’ I am also founder and director of the Cork Audio Visual Ensemble (CAVE), a laboratory of electronic performance utilising bespoke instruments of my own design. I have delivered talks and workshops at The Apple Store (Chicago), DubSpot (New York), SoundArts Studio (San Francisco); The International Computer Music Conference; Sound and Music Computing Conference; The International Festival for Innovations in Music Production & Composition (iFIMPaC); The Irish Sound, Science and Technology Association (ISSTA); The Association for Technology in Music Construction; Society for Electro-Acoustic Music in the US (SEAMUS) conferences. I have been developing my expertise in multimedia composition by composing and performing individually and in collaboration with other musicians, choreographers, filmmakers, performance art groups, and theatre producers. My work has been performed at MCA Chicago (USA)
