Nick Roth Biography:

Nick Roth is a saxophonist, composer, producer and educator.

His work explores the liberation of improvisation from composition, the poetic syntax of philosophical enquiry and the function of music as translative epistemology.

A curious predisposition and a steadfast refusal to accept the existence of boundaries between the real and the imaginary has led to collaborations with an array of international performers, composers, choreographers, directors, visual artists, festivals, poets and ensembles.

Engaging in conversation with mathematical biologists, astrophysicists, ecologists and hydrologists, whilst simultaneously subsumed by an insatiable appetite for literature, his compositions interrogate the inherence of meaning in formal structure and the symbiotic resonance of words as sound and text.

In 2017 he was artist-in-residence at the European Space Agency (ESTEC) and the dlr LexIcon and in 2015 at the California Academy of Sciences and the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA).

He is artistic director of the Yurodny Ensemble, a founder member of the Water Project and a partner at Diatribe Records, Ireland’s leading record label for new music. His work is represented by the Contemporary Music Centre (CMC) and the Association of Irish Composers (AIC).
