Aileen Sweeney. Learn about our featured composer ahead of our performance of The Wooden Web...

I grew up in a very folk household. I was taken to these Irish music classes, I was taken to Irish dancing classes. That was very much what my understanding of music was for a very long time; obviously, I knew that other things existed, but that was very much my upbringing, and what I considered music to be, essentially.

And it wasn't really until I was about 14 or 15 that I even started looking at "classical" music; but even then, it wasn't really classical music, it was like French musettes and Italian polkas/ It probably wasn't until I was in my final year at school that I actually played something by Bach. So I find that the folk music is very much engrained.

It's hard to remember [to] just write stuff that you like - it seems like a simple thing to do, but it is hard. I often hear compoers saying, like, "I don't think about what the audience think" - and I believe those people, I'm sure they don't care - but why would you not care? What would you rather, a concert hall of a thosand people walking out and hating it, or a concert hall of people saying "I really enjoyed your piece"?

I know Stravinsky had riots and all that, but I don't think we're in the day and age of riots. I am thrilled when people come up to me and say "I enjoy your music", so why would I not strive for that?

Friday 25 September, The Nest, Oxford. Tickets available now. Hear music by Aileen Sweeney at PRX.LIVE, alongside music by some of today's most exciting composers.

Holly Gowland: Learn about our featured composer ahead of our performance of Skew...

Holly Gowland is a composer and researcher working at the intersection of sound, space, and performance. Her music blends the acoustic with the electronic, often using field recordings, custom-built technologies, and special techniques to explore perception, gesture, and sonic environment.

She is currently undertaking a PhD (supported by AHRC M4C and by The Mendelssohn Scholarship Foundation) in Musical Composition at the University of Birmingham, supervised by Annie Mahtani, Scott Wilson, and Phil Jones. Previous studies include a BMus (Hons) in Composition at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire and an MSt in Music (Composition) at the University of Oxford.

Holly's work has been commissioned by NMC (New Music Cassette) and Molly Welling in collaboration with the University of Birmingham. Her music has been presented internationally, including at the 2023 International Electroacoustic Music Exhibition in Ecuador, Colaboradio in Berlin, and in Milwaukee, US. She is a recipient of numerous awards, including the Peter Redfearn Prize, Musicians' Union Bill Warman Award, Royal Birmingham Conservatoire Composition Prize, and the 7th Annual Henfrey Prize.

Holly is also the co-founder of Electra Music, an initiative promoting electronic music and production for women, which has engaged with artists such as Linda Buckley, Natalie Holt, and Sarah Belle Reid.
