Amanda Feery '"I'm interested in writing for anything and anyone that reinforces my musical ideas. Recently, I've been preoccupied with the connection between creativity and everyday activity - everyday flaws, fears, and passions, and how these can translate into something musically meaningful." |

Amanda Feery is a musician currently working towards a PhD in Composition at Princeton University in the US, working with acoustic, electronic and improvised music. She gained a BA in Music from Trinity College Dublin in 2006 and completed an MPhil in Music and Media Technologies, from Trinity College Dublin in 2009. Abandoning notions of becoming a pianist, she started composing seriously around 2006. She has worked with peers, teachers, and musicians at various festivals and residencies, and also with artists in other disciplines through film, theatre, and soundart. Her work has been performed both nationally and internationally in the UK, US, and the Netherlands by groups such as Ensemble ICC, Crash Ensemble, RIAM Percussion Ensemble, Dublin Guitar Quartet, and orkest de ereprijs. She was the 2009 winner of the West Cork Chamber Music Composer Award, and the same year participated at the International Young Composers Meeting, studying with Louis Andriessen. In 2010 she was selected for a composer residency at the Bang on a Can Summer Festival, at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. Works during 2013 include pieces for clarinettist, Paul Roe, and a vocal work for eight voices, based on the diary entries of Donald Crowhurst. (biography © Contemporary Music Centre, Ireland) |
