Through its palette of DAXA-interfaced DX7, piano, gongs, cymbals, bells, singing bowls and spectral processing, W/HERE (pronounced as 'wheer') is rooted in ideas of place and non-place. Compositions and recordings were made in various spaces over an extended period. These components were then gathered and arranged as a suite of nine parts, integrated yet interchangeable – precarious and contingent.

W/HERE emerged from a long germination period and some of its elements have previously appeared in installation and live performance, notably 'End.' with Eamonn Doyle and Niall Sweeney at Espace Van Gogh, Les Rencontres D’Arles, 2016; 'DAXA: Half Crystallised But Still Breathing' as part of Dennis McNulty’s TTOPOLOGY at Visual Carlow, 2018; and 'MADE IN DUBLIN' with Eamonn Doyle, Niall Sweeney and Kevin Barry at Fundación MAPFRE Madrid and the RHA Dublin, St. Patrick’s Festival, 2019.

This work utilises DAXA, a translator/catalyst for the Yamaha DX7 synthesizer, designed and implemented by Dennis McNulty in collaboration with David Donohoe.
