Emerging in 2012 from Waterford, Ireland, Ruairí Ó Baoighill is an Irish experimental musician whose work incorporates elements of ritual ambient, psychedelic drone, and industrial music.
Known for creating deep and otherworldly soundscapes, his work is heavily inspired by folklore, nature, death, and altered states of consciousness.
Ruairí's music has been described as:
"Ruairi O’Baoighill’s music is commonly referred to as ritual/ambient. But it’s not a ritual to view. It’s one that invites the listener to be a part of." - The Noise Beneath The Snow
"If you’ve yet to listen to any of Ruairi O'Baoighill’s creations, I urge you to check them out, particularly if you like your dark ambient with occult themes." - Casey Douglas
"Irish artist Ruairi O’Baoighill trespasses his boundaries (no limitations allowed) by entering a realm of utter darkness." - Concrete Web
Since 2012 Ruairí has released tracks on compilations, splits, and albums released on labels such as Cursed Monk Records, Feathered Coyote Records, Cruel Nature Records, Noctivagant, Apocalyptic Witchcraft, and Sombre Sonics with his new album due for release on Zanzen Sounds, Fiadh Productions, and Doomshire Tapes
Ruairi is also one half of the experimental folk band ÚATH with Grey Malkin, their self titled debut album received rave reviews and was featured in Dave Thompson's book, Candy Striped Cauliflower Capers.
Ruairi will be performing the opening ritual on Friday July 3rd in Pharmacia Limerick.
Monk Fest is in aid of Temple St. Children’s Hospital.
