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, combined with a curiosity for electronic design, led to the creation of Cariddi.
Cariddi is an experimental electroacoustic instrument created to explore, through radical improvisation, the sonic unpredictability of the tides.
