An example would be creating special reactive and interactive audiovisual elements for your installation or a play. If you can imagine it we can find a way of doing it (and you can afford the parts!)

Another more esoteric one would be a musician looking for a way to control several synthesiser parameters at the same time from one knob or change patches across multiple keyboards all at once. I can create Max/MSP runtime patches that achieve this.

Visual artist by right, with a rough-hewn aesthetic – handy with electonics.

Exceptional, Historic Castle of Extensive Proportions dating back to the 17th Century; located on approx. 180 acres of land just nine miles from Galway City close to the little village of Corrandulla.
Cregg Castle is a historical property, having been built by the Clement Kirwin Family in 1648, later inherited by the renowned Chemist, Richard Kirwin in 1754. Remains of his laboratory are still in the Orchard. There is a Queen Anne Bell Tower in the Courtyard, and also a lovely Chapel within the Castle. After the Kirwins, Cregg Castle was owned by the Blake Family, another of the Great Tribes of Galway.
Cregg Castle is one of the last, if not actually the last of the ” Fortified Mansions” built in Ireland the entire building is an interesting display of three centuries of advancement in fortified building. It is located in rural splendour on about 180 acres of magical woodland, meadow and pasture. There is also a spring well and a river meanders through part of the land.

I work a lot from home (graphic design and planning workshops) and I’m looking to link with people that would be interested to share space and give support for each other. there is WiFi in the house and different working space, there’s a nice big garden and lots of materials and books to inspire you.

you can have a glimpse of the house here – http://flic.kr/s/aHsjxLxWZD
and what I’m doing in this website – http://www.creativenaomi.com

there would be a minimal contribution to cover any costs.

We welcome any genre of music and word.

A bucket will be passed around the audience on the night to try and get some petrol money for the performers and artists are encouraged to sell their CD’s etc.

I will be putting as much as I can into advertising each night to try and ensure that there will be no playing to empty rooms.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me for more details.

Cheers, Vick.
