Neil Quigley is a composer, writer and artist from Ireland who is currently living between Kilkenny, Ireland and Glasgow, Scotland.

Neil primarily makes solo work but is also in a duo with the composer Sam Scranton called Physique, a quartet with Bryn Davis, Nick Meryhew and Sam Scranton called The World’s Greatest Drum Programmer and an electroacoustic ensemble called Network Music Glasgow .

His recent solo works centre on a speculative history of an audio research laboratory based in parochial Ireland in the late 20th century. This work is released as an ongoing anthology series entitled the ‘Kilkenny Electroacoustic Research Laboratory Anthology .’

His other work focuses on sonic representations of space, both real and virtual, and the interpersonal politics of the musical workspace; viewing the dynamics of music culture as a way of examining broader issues of labour and societal hierarchies.

His work has been described as “all very synthetic, even sometimes comical”, and “very confident” by The Journal of Music, as “also rather beautiful” by Nialler9, and as having a “dry and unpretentious wit” by Eoin Murray of the Quietus/DJ Mag. His recent works have been published on Nyahh Records (Irl), Amalgam Records (US), Miúin (Irl), Parlour Tapes+ (US), Bog Bodies Press (BE), Destiny Trax (US), The Department of Energy (Irl) and Moot Records (Irl).

Neil is currently represented by The Contemporary Music Centre Ireland.
