Roy Carroll is a composer / musician, born in Dublin, living in Berlin.
Working with loudspeakers removed from their cabinets, manipulating them and preparing them with various textured materials, resonant containers etc. The loudspeakers function as both acoustic sound sources in their own right and outlet for computer generated / processed audio. Microscopically detailed acoustic recordings, DIY audio accidents, interior field / concrète recordings etc. are source material used within self-designed audio software. Roy's performances are focused on provoking kinetic and acoustic interactions between the loudspeakers, the resonant / textured materials and computer generated / manipulated sound. His compositional work is similarly focused, albeit with shifted formal and temporal foci.
Roy has collaborated extensively with choreographer Maya Lipsker, creating ten pieces together in the last five years. They have just formed The Instrument, a vehicle for producing and presenting their future collaborative work.
Composition studies with Roger Doyle and Donnacha Dennehy.
M-Phil from Trinity College Dublin.
