XERX

XERX is the creation of Dublin based artist and composer Stephen Maguire, The project is an ongoing diaristic process which is used to account for periods in life best described through the language of music.

The music presented here is an extract from the latest XERX series 'The Ivy Wall of Bedpan Terror's', this project marks events in the advent of a recent near fatal accident. All Songs developed during an extended stay in hospital and throughout the long recovery. The project attempts to recount a feeling of overwhelmed exhaustion in the wake of such rapid change.

Currently working on a live act XERX attempts to establish a more instinctual performance incorporating a laptop come midi controler format to adapt each songs dynamics and overall structure whilst merging this impulsive performance with new improvised soul inspired vocals.
