Seán Clancy is an experimental musician from Dublin. His music has been described as “Equal part sacred & seductive” (Tempo); “An affecting reminder of minimalism’s capacity to feel deeply personal and purposeful” (The Quietus); and “Beautifully simple yet elusive” (The New York Times). His work deals with translation, examining minimal compositional strategies over extended periods of time, and devised collaboration. Recent work includes Where the Paths End (2023), a 28 minute piece for ensemble, electronics, and location recordings commission by Zubin Kanga’s UKRI Cyborg Soloists project for Plus Minus Ensemble, with three accompanying soundwalks around Edinburgh, Birmingham, and London; Amaechi (with Michael Wolters), a 2022 Commonwealth Games commission for singers, percussionists, electronics, basketball players, and projected text; Nowhere Better Than This Place (with Andy Ingamells) (2023/2019) for visual musique concrète, electronics, projected text, and video (reprised at Dublin Fringe Festival 2023 and nominated for The George Fitzmaurice Award); and Inventions & Canons, an immensely intimate album for acoustic instruments, electronics, and location recordings documenting life surrounding the year 2021.
