After a stellar performance at Beyond The Pale this month, KORMAC has announced a brand new live AV show at the Button Factory this December.
His brand new single ‘Aerials’ is out Tomorrow
About his new single
Producer, live artist and film composer Kormac will release a brand-new single ‘Aerials’ on Friday 26th June 2026. The track was inspired by a childhood friend of Kormac who has since passed away. Growing up in Howth, Co. Dublin, a gang of pals would visit a viewpoint locally known as ‘The Aerials’, so-called because of the radio/telecom towers that sit on the ridge.
Kormac said:
“I was thinking about sounds and textures that spoke to us in the music that we listened to during those formative years, and, I suppose, I’m still really drawn to a lot of these sounds. The indiscernible, chopped up vocals, sampled from an old cassette tape, the dubby Moog baseline that sits right in front of the mix and the noisy, distorted drum breaks I’ve made are all nods to these influences and to my friend.”
Kormac has had a busy year working on new music and his brand-new audio-visual show which he showcased at Beyond the Pale last weekend. Playing to a packed-out tent, fans got to enjoy new and forthcoming material from his Always The Sound imprint alongside select cuts from across his catalogue, including ‘New Day’, ‘Ondes’ and ‘I Believe’, plus music from recent scoring projects including This Town, These Sacred Vows and his orchestral score for recent BBC drama series Dear England, the hit four-part British television drama and Olivier Award-winning stage play by James Graham, chronicling Gareth Southgate’s tenure as manager of the England men’s national football team.
The new AV show sees Kormac control both audio – an array of synthesisers and drum machines – and visuals live on stage, with immersive imagery projected across multiple screens as part of a completely reimagined performance setup. The visuals are created through a painstaking process of scanning, importing and animating still images, much of it drawn from collaborations with Irish artists involved in shaping the show’s visual world.
