Description
Art of Algebra is a Sligo based Irish electronic producer whose sound blends ambient electronica, trip hop and experimental IDM influences.
As a producer he utilises analogue equipment, acoustic instrumentation and experimental sound design to create compositions characterised by dramatic synthesizer melodies, intricate sampling work and dynamic off-kilter beats.
Art of Algebra is the musical alias of David Hallinan, an electronic producer from Sligo. The Art of Algebra sound is a blend of electronica influences and sub-genres including trip-hop, downtempo, ambient and elements of the LA 'Beat Scene'. His output to date includes his 11 track debut LP (2019), his collaboration with Afro-Irish MC Breezy iDeyGoke (2020) and the 'Under a Different Light' 4 track EP (2020).
When performing live, Art of Algebra's gigs are accompanied by specially curated motion graphics-based visual projections. This results in a fully immersive and unforgettable audio-visual live experience. He also chooses to perform on stage with synthesizers, sampler, mixer and other live performance equipment, rather than using a computer on stage.
On the whole the Art of Algebra sound leans towards the common ground among artists like Boards of Canada, Max Cooper, John Hopkins, Massive Attack, Teebs, Rival Consoles and Four Tet. Born and raised in Enniscrone, Art of Algebra is currently based in the surfing Mecca of Easkey in County Sligo. Performing for the first time in Ballina, this event Is not to be missed.
