Gareth Quinn Redmond

Gareth Quinn Redmond is an Irish ambient musician, recognized as one of the leading voices in
Ireland’s ambient music scene. His work is deeply influenced by the Japanese concept of
Kankyō Ongaku—or environmental music—which focuses on crafting soundscapes that help
the listener connect with their surroundings. Much of Quinn Redmond’s music draws from the
work of composer Satoshi Ashikawa, who described his work as a “sound scenery to be listened
to casually… drifting like smoke.” This philosophy is central to Quinn Redmond’s compositions,
which blend seamlessly into their environment, encouraging stillness and a deeper engagement
with everyday life.

In addition to his solo work, Quinn Redmond is a member of the Irish band Throwing Shapes
and has also collaborated with numerous artists, including Albert Karch, C.R Gillespie, and
Francis Harris. He has released music on respected labels such as WRWTFWW Records and
Hidden Harmony Recordings, earning recognition for his delicate approach to the shape of
sound. On November 14th, Quinn Redmond will release his latest album, Múscailte, via record
label sound as language.

Múscailte continues Quinn Redmond's exploration of sound, silence, and subtlety,
blending fragile textures to create space for quiet contemplation. Warm analogue synthesis
and the bell-like tones of the Hohner Pianet invite the listener into quiet reflection and gently
hold them in stillness. Inspired by the works of Hiroshi Yoshimura, Gareth Quinn Redmond
presents an album composed for the soft unfolding of morning—a sound design that embraces
slowness and presence. Each piece offers space to dwell in the minute, to notice, to simply be.
