Description
Examine Róis’s approach to songwriting with synths and electronics using Ableton.
Explore chord progressions, harmony, and melody making.
Understand how sampling and granular synthesis work—her predominant approach to composition.
The workshop will follow a question-based approach to ensure you get the most out of your interests. If you’d like to learn about recording vocals or general mixing, don’t hesitate to ask.
RÓIS is a composer, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and electronic artist from Fermanagh, whose songs breathe new life into a forgotten Ireland. Blending elements of folk, sean-nós, electronics, and jazz harmony, RÓIS’ genre-bending sound transports listeners to a different realm. Expect twists and turns of tempo and genre, and moments of sheer magic, as she conducts the energy of the room. This is a place where the ancient meets the new.
RÓIS was recently awarded Best Original Folk Track for her song 'Caoine,' and Best Emerging Artist at the RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Awards 2025.
- Admission £25
