Composer and performer Jennifer Walshe (Ireland, 1974) “The most original compositional voice to emerge from Ireland in the past 20 years” (The Irish Times) and “Wild girl of Darmstadt” (Frankfurter Rundschau). Her music has been commissioned, broadcast and performed all over the world. Some of her recent projects include TIME TIME TIME, an opera written in collaboration with the philosopher Timothy Morton, and THE SITE OF AN INVESTIGATION, a 30-minute epic for Walshe’s voice and orchestra, commissioned by the National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland. Walshe has worked extensively with AI: for example, ULTRACHUNK, made in collaboration with Memo Akten in 2018, features an AI-generated version of Walshe. Walshe is currently professor of composition at the University of Oxford.
