Úna Keane is a composer and multimedia artist from Dublin, Ireland. Her 2017 Piano solo record “As I Wake, Still I Dream” was critically acclaimed, receiving 4 Star reviews from both The Irish Times & The Sunday Times. Since then her consistent touring has been gaining her a loyal following. Her live setup incorporates visuals, loop-pedal, vintage typewriter and piano. Her use of black + white film footage, often of speed-corrected old movies, as well as her own animated art footage creates a calm, nostalgic atmosphere and tends to have the effect of connecting an audience both to the music and to one another.

To date some of Úna’s work has been broadcast on RTE & the BBC, and her compositions have been performed at Electric Picnic, Féile na Bealtaine and the National Concert Hall, as well as on many random pianos wherever she finds herself. Her track “My Panacea” was included on Nils Frahm’s 2017 Piano Day Playlist. She's also been delving into Film Scoring of late, with some of the Shorts she's scored being premiered at Film Festivals this summer.

Following a successful Crowd-funding campaign to raise €10,000 at the end of 2018, Úna is releasing her next Album in September 2019. While her 2017 record was a Piano Solo affair, this new Album will also feature (quiet) electronics, soundscapes and vintage typewriter. She’ll be bringing her particular brand of musical alchemy on tour from September with plans to tour Ireland, the UK and mainland Europe, and is delighted to be playing at Sirius Arts Centre for the first time as part of her Irish Tour.
