Karen’s Substack

Description

I am an Irish composer/sound artist, based in Cork, Ireland. My compositions utilise two primary sources; acoustic instruments and everyday sounds (through field recording). My creative output is diverse, both in its approach and delivery, seeking to capture and translate the essence of an idea through a variety of forms, media and methods of dissemination. Listening and recording throughout the world and discovering the uniqueness of every place through sound allows my work to share, enhance, respect and highlight everyday and extraordinary environments in equal measure. I have listened and recorded in some of the worlds most isolated and challenging locations: The Arctic, Amazon, Namib Desert, Outback Australia and most recently Antartica. Here you will see/hear extracts of larger works that have been edited for preview viewing. If you'd like to hear/see more then go to: www.karenpower.ie
