Kieran Kehoe is a multidisciplinary artist exploring electronic music, audio-reactive visual art, installation art and immersive event curation. Since 2020, he has produced a wide range of works that merge sound, visuals, and audience interaction. A graduate of the University of Limerick’s Music, Media & Performance Technology program, Kieran combines analogue synthesis and Elektron hardware with software tools like Max/MSP, Processing, and Kinect depth cameras to create live interactive visuals, ambient soundscapes, experimental electronic performances and installations.
He is the founder of blackMarbleSound();, a collective focused on experimental audio-visual experiences, and has curated events for Butler Gallery, Culture Night, and the Alternative Kilkenny Arts Festival. His installation piece Conversations with Oneself explored generative music and real-time environmental response.

Kieran is currently developing new materials aimed at future musical releases, live A/V performances and installation pieces exploring digital identity, presence, and movement.
Through sampling with use of the Elektron Digitakt Kieran is exploring the idea of abstracting emotional content through electroacoustic music. Drawing influence from the idea of the ‘aesthetics of error,’ with use of probability functions he intends to integrate elements of predetermined chance into his computer music. This is echoed in his installations, featuring non-time based musical atmospheres accompanying visual digital abstractions of life and movement, highlighting the role of technology in society and our ever growing relationship with our own digital identities. Through the development of his practice, Kieran is exploring the idea of transmuting these digital visual pieces off the screen into more traditional, analogue art mediums in the future.
