EP22 Raymond MacDonald
Raymond MacDonald is a saxophonist, composer and academic whose work explores the boundaries and ambiguities between what is conventionally seen as improvisation and composition. Much of his recent performing work has been in collaborative free improvisation contexts, however his roots in jazz and pop music are always evident in his playing and writing. MacDonald collaborates widely and has worked with visual artists, dancers, writers and filmmakers and has produced music for film, television, theatre and the concert hall.

Linda O'Keeffe is a sound artist based in New York. She holds a professorship in art at Stony Brook University, New York. A passionate advocate for the role of women in the sonic arts, she founded the Women in Sound Women on Sound (WISWOS) organisation (http://wiswos.com/). Additionally, she served as the Editor-in-Chief of the Interference Journal (http://www.interferencejournal.org/), a publication dedicated to audio cultures, from 2012 to 2022. In 2009, she co-founded the Irish Sound Science and Technology Association, leading as its President from 2015 to 2017.
Her professional focus lies at the crossroads of art, science, technology, and community.

As a member of the artist collective, Non Random, she aims to emphasize the union of arts and science to foster dialogues around research and art practices. Non Random is currently engaged in "Evolving Ourselves with Unnatural Selection", a project funded by Creative Scotland. This collaboration between artists and researchers aims to investigate and illustrate the ethical implications and future prospects of gene editing through a digital multi-arts approach.
