About me
Julia Mahon has just completed a PhD in electro-acoustic composition, with Prof. Gráinne Mulvey in TU Dublin. Having completed a BMus in composition and an MA in piano performance, her work is now investigating techniques and sonic aesthetics traditionally used in contemporary song writing, pop and hip-hop music, using these to create contemporary ensemble works which probe the possible area between songwriting and contemporary composition. Parallel to, and through these various mediums, her work challenges the perceived elitism of art music and its place in academia. Julia is particularly interested in ideas surrounding the democratising of creative output, and the promotion of urban music and contemporaneous sub-genres in academic study. As an educator, Julia lectures in a variety of creative, practical and academic subjects including songwriting and composition, performance-in-context, research methods, essential development skills, final year research thesis and project management classes. Julia is an active member of the popular and DIY music scene in Dublin, and is working on a solo project, which combines noise and synth pop – developing textural writing in a pop setting.
