Mark Bergin

⚠️ ⚠️ THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED DUE TO STATUS YELLOW WEATHER WARNINGS IN PLACE IN THE DUBLIN AREA ‼️ ‼️ 💥💥 SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT 💥💥 Ever notice the impact sound design has on a film, bringing drama or suspense or heightening emotion? Or how the perfect music track can transform a TV commercial? So often we don’t appreciate the true power that brilliant sound design & composition has on the content we’re consuming every day. Well, this month’s speaker certainly knows a thing or two about this topic! We are incredibly excited to welcome our first speaker of the year, @mark_bergin_ , to join us next Friday January 30th for an insightful look into the craft of sound design and composition. Mark Bergin is a composer and sound designer creating original music and sound for commercials, short films, and a wide range of creative projects. Based at @folding.waves in Dublin, his commercial work includes campaigns for Tayto, Just Eat, RTÉ, Threshold Housing Charity, and Childline. Alongside advertising, Mark has scored several short films through the National Talent Academy Short Film scheme and regularly collaborates on independent projects across film, music, and the arts. Deeply engaged with Ireland’s creative scene, Mark frequently performs live with friends and collaborators and is always seeking out meaningful, creatively driven partnerships. Mark will delve into his creative process and how sound influences storytelling and atmosphere, with examples from recent projects and behind-the-scenes anecdotes. Not to be missed!! Tickets are FREE but limited! Available from Monday through the link in our bio 🎟️ Credits: Tayto Christmas: Score by Mark Bergin. Sound design & mix by @folding.waves Cornados: Score by Mark Bergin.

Things can be good 😮

Though I had to wrap early unfortunately, I had the immense pleasure of working on Double Blind the past few weeks. Very fortunate & excited to have met everyone on this 🐁

Had such a beautiful time over in Barcelona with some of the best people! Here’s a few photos! Can you spot the ghosts?

A good man is hard to find but here we have surely found one 🌞

Some little moments from Lahinch, 2021

I’m delighted to share that “Process” a documentary I created with some dear friends, has been selected for screening in the Richard Harris International Film Festival. Dates & details of the stream to be announced, but I’m delighted to get the chance to share this small piece with more people. It features the work and words of two joyous, hard working and inspiring young artists I’m proud to call my friends, and was shot beautifully by my longtime muse DOP @nathanthecampionoftheworld . It also features music by myself and @finteresting , so you might even enjoy it with your eyes closed. I hope some of you get to see it! 📺 @rharrisfilmfest
