After completing his MA in Music Technology at the University of Limerick, Sunken Foal (Dunk Murphy) released his debut album “Fallen Arches” on Planet-Mu records alongside the “Fermented Condiments” E.P. in late 2008. Since then, he has played a string of successful gigs developing a unique ‘finger-triggered’ improvisational live performance setup. His music tangles stringed instruments with analogue synthesis and walks a fine line between murky pessimism and ethereal harmony. Occasional vocals are met with digital percussion that twist and turn at every juncture. His interest in generative music has lead to techniques that imply continually fluctuating timbres and compositions while never wandering too far from the dance floor. Sunken Foal has featured as BBC Radio1 session artist (featuring Jürgen Simpson and Cormac Dermody) on the Mary Anne Hobbs Experimental show and has contributed to her acclaimed Wild Angels compilation.
