Stitch 'n' Bitch

A night of Ireland in experimental clubbing mode: bodies on alert, diverted folk, nervous machines and spatialised sounds. From Dublin to Belfast, YARD pushes electro-noise towards physical impact; Zoë Mc Pherson shifts the energy of the dancefloor into more unstable zones; while Lullahush reassembles Irish folk into a glitchy, tender and futuristic material. SARC offers a sample of its immersive sound research, while a~a~r~d~e~n~t blends Gaelic song, synths and Atlantic rain into a Franco-Irish future-folk. 

YARD 
An electro-noise trio from Dublin, YARD drives the Irish scene towards physical saturation. Guitars, machines, voice and drums collide in an electronic post-punk built for the live stage: frontal, nervous, almost industrial. A music of impact, made to keep bodies on alert. 

SARC 
Based at Queen’s University Belfast, SARC — the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Sound and Music — is a major European hub for sound practices. Research, composition, spatialisation, audiovisual performance and immersive technologies coexist there, notably around the Sonic Lab, a multichannel laboratory-space designed for listening to sound in volume. For Musica, SARC presents a sample of projects developed over recent years. 

Zoë Mc Pherson
Electronic artist, performer and producer Zoë Mc Pherson creates music of contrasts, poised between the physicality of the club, hyperkinetic rhythms, experimental synthesis and audiovisual forms. Their live performances shift the energy of the dancefloor into more unstable, political and sensory zones, in a practice that is constantly evolving. 

Lullahush 
Under the name Lullahush, Daniel McIntyre reinvents Irish folk through electronics. Fragmented samples, field recordings, voice, traditional instruments and glitch textures come together in a music of return and displacement, haunted by Dublin, exile, memory and the sea. Trad rewired: tender, strange and futuristic all at once. 

a~a~r~d~e~n~t 
Founded in Strasbourg in 2025, a~a~r~d~e~n~t brings together Clément Chanaud-Ferrenq and Darragh Quinn in a form of Franco-Irish future folk traversed by Gaelic song, fiddle, harmonium and synthesisers. The duo blends age-old stories, a minority language, Atlantic rain and cosmopolitan synth-pop.
