Eóin Lyness is an Irish sound artist from County Down, currently based in County Armagh. His work challenges traditional boundaries of music, blending manipulated field recordings with drone and noise influences to create immersive, conceptual soundscapes. Inspired by the spontaneity and unpredictable processes of abstract expressionism, Lyness approaches his compositions as auditory canvases, shaped by thoughts, emotions, and political commentary.

Rejecting conventional production techniques, Lyness critiques the commodification of music and approaches his work through a metamodernist lens. Lyness’ work calls to rethink the role of music in contemporary culture, viewing it as more than mere entertainment but as high art. His compositions are not designed simply for consumption but to provoke thought and analysis, inviting listeners to seek meaning through interpretation and reflection.

Through his creative vision, Lyness crafts soundscapes that challenge listeners to reconsider their understanding of music by emphasising process, spontaneity, and the layered relationship between sound, thought, and emotion. By doing so, Lyness’ work serves as both a critique of contemporary practices and a reimagining of music as a transformative artistic medium with potential to provoke and inspire change.
