OVERVIEW Niamh de Barra is an Irish electronic musician, currently based in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Originally a classical pianist, she graduated from NUI Maynooth in 2005 with a B.Mus in Piano Performance. She now works primarily with cello, voice and electronics. In a live setting, she uses sampling software to record and layer different textures, and to build a song from scratch. From 2002 she was part of the John Mary Trilogy, an experimental/improv band from which she split in 2008 to pursue a solo career. A debut EP "Cusp", released in August 2010, was nominated for the Digital Socket Awards, and Niamh was named as one of 2010's best Irish acts by Jim Carroll (Irish Times). A full-length album, "Echo", is due for release in 2012. -Niamh De Barra 2010 - Release of 'Cusp' EP [August] 2012 - Release of 'Below The Sea' EP [13 June]
