Phil Maguire

Phil Maguire (b. 1989) is an artist and composer from Scotland working with sound. Utilising computers, synthesisers, and tape equipment, Maguire produces music and sound works that explore emptiness and emergence, of self and of machine. These works are informed by his experience composing, performing, and presenting works across the gamut of Minimalism.

These works place timbre under the microscope; examining fine details of sound over extended durations. Informed by intuitive use of feedback, chaos, and chance, these sounds are simultaneously static, yet always in motion.
Works by Maguire are released on various independent labels including Dinzu Artefacts, Confront Recordings, 845 audio, and his own verz imprint.

Maguire performs extensively in the UK and internationally. Recent performance include Café Oto (UK), Paviljoen Ongehoorde Muziek (NL), Third Space (FIN), Splendor (NL), and FIME (BR). Recorded works are frequently presented at festivals and on radio stations globally. These include Radio CASo (ARG), BBC Radio 3 (UK), L A D I G (IT), and Dublin Digital Radio (IE).

Maguire also composes music for theatre, and produces video and photographic works. He performs in Galvanize Ensemble, and has regular collaborative projects with Anne La Berge, Tim Olive, Matthijs Kouw, and Bill Thompson, among others.

Maguire runs verz, an experimental sound and music label and concert series. He lives and works between London, UK, and Cork, Ireland.
