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 7th, 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.
