RAMP Concert 7 - Natalia Beylis, Willie Stewart & Eimear Reidy

SUN 19 JULY | 17:00 - 18:00 | Rathmullan Presbyterian Church

Natalia Beylis moves between sonic storytelling and multi-instrumental exploration — her compositions drawing on garbled tape collage, manipulated everyday objects, eerie mandola riffs and dreamscape piano, all shaped by the sounds of the living world — wind, rainfall, and the creatures, seen and unseen, that inhabit the spaces between.

RAMP Concert 4 - Mariam Rezaei

SAT 18 JULY | 19:00 - 20:00 | Rathmullan Presbyterian Church

Mariam Rezaei is a multi-award-winning composer, turntablist, and performer working across experimental new music, free improvisation, mutant club music, and hip-hop. Described by The Wire as one of the most technically adept and creatively daring artists to use the turntable as a musical instrument, the Anglo-Iranian virtuoso uses a digital vinyl system to manipulate an expansive range of samples in real time, combining classic turntablist skills with her own innovative techniques. Her latest solo release FRACTURED (Heat Crimes) was praised by The Wire, Uncut, and Bandcamp Daily, and named one of The Quietus' cassette releases of 2024. She is a member of the international free music supergroup The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters and the pioneering Turntable Trio with Evicshen and Maria Chávez, with collaborators including Jennifer Walshe, Pat Thomas, Farida Amadou, Valentina Magaletti, Lasse Marhaug, and Okkyung Lee.
