We were delighted to welcome Irish composer Elis Czerniak
@elisczerniak to DMARC during March and April as part of the CMC/DMARC Sonic Arts Residency. Elis worked extensively in our Electronic Music Studio, recording with a range of sound materials including the Buchla 200e, Eurorack systems and acoustic instruments.
Elis Czerniak is a composer, performer and teacher based in Dublin, Ireland. He seeks to create an aesthetic that unifies composer, performer and listener through the use of extended notation, graphics and other synergetic practices. His music is that of a collaborative world created through the exploration of sound’s unstable qualities, employing improvisation and graphic notation in order to bring about enveloping sound-worlds that call for intimate listening practices between all agents of the musical community. The thoughts and ideas of composers such as Eliane Radigue, Luigi Nono and Horatiu Radulescu play a big role in his work as a composer, with the use of unusual instrumental timbres, both organic and electronic, making up the diverse palette in which he draws his material from.
Elis holds a degree in music from Trinity College Dublin, a masters in music from the Royal College of Music in London and has obtained his PhD under Evangelia Rigaki being awarded the Home Hewson scholarship. He is a former lecturer at Trinity College in areas relating to composition, electroacoustics and ethnomusicology. He has also had his pieces played throughout Ireland, UK and Europe by a variety of performers including RCM Symphony Orchestra, Kirkos Ensemble, Crash Ensemble, Tonnta Vocal Ensemble and RTÉ Con Tempo Quartet.
