Mac Tire is a musician, performer, and researcher.
His work focuses on sound design, live electronics and multidisciplinary performances, with a strong interest in using water and instruments of his own design.
He describes himself as a water alchemist.
After obtaining a Bachelor of Arts in Music Performance and a Master’s degree in Music and New Technologies, he enrolled in a PhD in Performing, Staging Arts, Music and Compositions at ABANA.
His artistic research combines the sound and motion of water; starting from an observation of sea waves, his interest in using water as a sound source and core for his projects was born. Sampling and reshaping this natural element, mixed with a curiosity towards radical improvisation, led to the creation of Cariddi, an experimental electroacoustic instrument designed to create and samples whirlpools. This instrument is used to bring the unpredictability of the tide and its sounds in an artificial space.
