Very keen to get out and play with real musicians again!
I've many years experience playing in bands as a guitarist, bassist and singer, I also produce a lot of electronic music / ambient scores and the like, from my home studio.
Open to all sorts of collaborations! And open to cover bands / paid gigs (aren't we all?)
Give me a shout!

[THEATRE] Lost Bikini - The Recipe Of The Lost Martini
[THEATRE] Lost Bikini - The Recipe Of The Lost MartiniCreated by Accidental Theatre, early 2015, The Lost Martini was an immersive theatre experience, with a live jazz band at the centre. For this ambitious project I composed nine original pieces of jazz flavoured music, spanning several areas of the genre. Recording the songs in my home studio took place over several weeks, before some of these musicians then rehearsed with myself, translating the songs to perform them within the production itself. "The Lost Martini Band" went onto to perform these songs at other events outside of this theatre production and recently reformed to play at Accidental Theatre's move from their old headquarters in Belfast's city centre. On this recording: Vocals: Sarah Lyle Trumpet: Michael Barkley Drums: Niall Kelly Violin & Accordion: Paul McGuinness Guitar: Marty Byrne In the live Lost Martini band: Chris Allen: upright bass. Written, recorded, produced by Marty Byrne, 2015 More info: https://accidentaltheatre.co.uk/archive/the-lost-martini

[THEATRE] Mydidae - Composition & Sound Design Preview
[THEATRE] Mydidae - Composition & Sound Design PreviewPrime Cut Productions commissioned me to write music for their production of Jack Thorne's "Mydidae", at the MAC Upstairs for the 2015 Belfast International Arts Festival. The show was a great success and had some outstanding reviews! **** 4 STARS Irish Times **** 4 STARS Irish News “Absolutely amazing, so lucky to have seen this amazing performance and production” “Excellent production, acting was great. The whole thing was very powerful and left a rawness. Truly emotive, really well done” To try and match the play's own stark, stripped back setting, I decided to limit myself instrumentally, using guitar, strings, piano and only a few other elements. I wrote several pieces for Mydidae over three weeks, working collaboratively with director Rhiann Jeffreys and the rest of the creative team. My original music for Mydidae is now available on iTunes, Spotify and many other digital stores.Have a listen! MYDIDAE MUSIC REVIEWS "Mydidae is a surprising and entertaining soundscape, one which combines musicality with psychology and the result is a thoughtful and provocative assemblage that is equal parts eerie and unsettling." - Pastie Bap "Relatively few soundtracks bear scrutiny beyond the visual context of the action they’re meant to illustrate. Byrne’s Mydidae does, and makes you wonder what he might be capable of given an even broader canvas to work on, in film or documentary. " - Culture Northern Ireland "The attention to light and shadow shows up in mood and sentiment. This collection of tracks, is in itself, a work of art." - Gigging NI

[THEATRE] Gordon Osram's Funeral - Composition & Sound Design Preview
[THEATRE] Gordon Osram's Funeral - Composition & Sound Design PreviewGORDON OSRÀM'S FUNERAL Developed by Dave Kinghan & Accidental Theatre Directed by Richard Lavery Accidental's Spring 2016 show, GORDON OSRÀM’S FUNERAL, is a daring, immersive play developed by Accidental from an original script by Dave Kinghan. Audiences will find themselves in a gallery tracing the path of the fictitious Gordon Osràm's life and work, featuring videos, photographs, interventions and interactive exhibits. As the night unfolds, the performance explodes into life and Osràm's darker motives build to a fever pitch, and a personal question faces everyone present: What memory of ourselves do we wish to leave behind? Gordon Osràm was an internationally-renowned performance artist whose career spanned almost three decades. Spending the last years out of the spotlight, the reclusive Osràm has now crafted his own “funeral” - an exhibition celebrating his career and culminating in an original performance piece, one last great work of art. Join us and raise a toast to the artist. Leave your own mark and confront your inner motives whilst exploring the sights, sounds and events of Osràm’s final hurrah. (Mourning dress optional.)
