Mac Tire is a musician, performer, and researcher.

For years, he has been involved in sound design, live electronics, and audio production, working with water and instruments of his own design. He describes himself as a voracious sound researcher and pursues artistic research that combines sound and the motion of water.

His interest in sampling and reworking natural sounds stems from an observation of sea waves. Electronics plays a key role in this research; this led him to develop an electroacoustic instrument called Cariddi, allowing him to explore the sounds of water, creating “the anatomy of a flow.”
