Create space for stillness, sound, and subtle transformation.
Thunderclap Murphy’s Live Ambient Music performances are uniquely suited to the reflective, spacious environments of art galleries. Designed to complement visual art without overwhelming it, these immersive soundscapes invite visitors to deepen their engagement with the space and the work it holds.
Performed by Dublin-based composer and live-looping artist Aidan Murphy, each set evolves organically, using layered textures, gentle rhythms, and melodic fragments to build an atmosphere of quiet focus. The music is carefully tuned to the character of the gallery—its acoustics, architecture, and visual energy—allowing sound and sight to co-exist in harmony.
These ambient experiences work beautifully as part of:
- Exhibition openings and closings
- Late-night gallery events
- Arts festival programming
- Meditative or slow-looking sessions
- Special seasonal or thematic showcases
Thunderclap Murphy brings a professional, collaborative approach, working closely with curators and event organizers to ensure the performance enhances rather than distracts. Sound levels are balanced, transitions are gentle, and the presence is unobtrusive—supporting a serene and elevated atmosphere throughout the gallery space.
Let your gallery breathe with music.
Create a moment of calm, a memory of stillness, a sound that lingers quietly in the mind.
If you’re interested in booking or collaborating, Thunderclap Murphy welcomes conversations with galleries and arts programmers who are seeking to offer something quietly powerful to their audiences.
