RAMP Concert 7 - Natalia Beylis, Willie Stewart & Eimear Reidy

Rathmullan

19 July 2026

17:00 // Rathmullan Presbyterian Church

Three long-time collaborators gather for an improvised set for cello, percussion, amplified objects, and tapes.

Natalia Beylis moves between sonic storytelling and multi-instrumental exploration — her compositions drawing on garbled tape collage, manipulated everyday objects, eerie mandola riffs and dreamscape piano, all shaped by the sounds of the living world — wind, rainfall, and the creatures, seen and unseen, that inhabit the spaces between. 

Willie Stewart is a percussionist, filmmaker and founder of Nyahh Records who, through never ending exposure to creative people and the great planet earth, has adopted a free improvisational and circular rhythmic style of drumming utilising a minimal setup of standard drums alongside unconventional objects. 

Eimear Reidy is a cellist, improviser and composer whose work focuses on exploring and developing extended instrumental techniques and occasionally incorporating field recordings, electronics and objects to create a wide palette of expression. Reidy regularly composes and performs in response to commissions from artists across disciplines, including dance, theatre and film.
