About Me


Stephen Shannon is an independent producer/musician based in Dublin, Ireland.
He is a member of post rock/electronic act Halfset who are currently completing their second studio album in the depths of a Dublin studio. It is due for release later this year.
Recently, Steve has been busy working on various soundtracks for independent films. Productions include "Skin Deep" (MINT), "Fight Or Flight" (Good Dog Films) and currently - "Saviours" (Street Films).
Compositionally, Steve is predominantly interested in combining electronic influences with classical instruments such as vibraphones, strings and harp to name a few.
In 2006, Steve set up a recording studio - Experimental Audio - a purpose-built space to be creative and focus on various projects including many of the more eclectic bands and artists in Ireland at present.
The songs here are selected electronic works from late last year, some of which have been used in documentaries and film productions. The song selection will be updated shortly to feature more recent work.
