Gareth Quinn Redmond

Since releasing his first album Laistigh den Ghleo alongside the first reissue of Satoshi Ashikawa’s seminal record Still Way, Gareth’s work has continued to be inspired by the concept of Kankyō Ongaku, Environmental Music.

This concept runs throughout Gareth’s approach to writing, which focuses on building and sustaining a connection between the listener and their environment. Last year saw the release of An Fhuaim is Caoine, a twenty minute ambient piece inspired by the discovery of an old music box, which is blended together with intimate string arrangements and analogue synthesisers.

This was followed in early 2021 by a brief departure into the world of electronica/dance alongside producer James Smith (Yurn) with their collaborative E.P Life’s Slow Build. More recently, Gareth released his album, Oscailte, a synth driven work inspired by the sound of the Juno 60 synthesiser, which was spontaneously written across a twelve hour burst of creativity.

Next year will see the release of 3 albums, out on Hidden Harmony Recordings, WRWTFWW Records and Francis Harris’ new label Out of Habit.
