LUCIA DWYER
Sound Designer | Recordist | Filmmaker | Sound Artist

Lucía Dwyer is an Irish sound designer, recordist, filmmaker, and sound artist working across post-production, live broadcasting, experimental sonic art, and film/theatre. Her practice is grounded in a curiosity for the emotional, psychological, and symbolic roles of sound, both as an artistic medium and as a tool for storytelling.

Lucía holds a Master’s degree in Experimental Sound Practice with First Class Honours from University College Cork, where she was mentored by a diverse group of influential artists and educators including John Godfrey, Karen Power, Jeffrey Weeter, Mick O’Shea, Danny McCarthy, and Inma Pavón. She also holds a First Class Honours degree in Film & Television (majoring in Sound/minor production) from the National Film School, IADT, Dún Laoghaire, where she studied on a full academic scholarship.

She previously worked with Virgin Media Television, with experience in both post-audio and live sound mixing, as well as in production and floor management for television. Her time in broadcast media gave her a strong technical foundation and a deep understanding of sound’s impact in fast-paced, real-time environments.

Lucía’s artistic work is focused on exploring sound as a language, one that resonates with personal, cultural, and environmental meaning. Her sound installations and experimental compositions engage with themes of queerness, landscape, language, and decolonization, examining how sound shapes identity, place, and perception. She draws on expanded sonic theories and experimental techniques to build politically charged, community-inspired, immersive aural experiences.

Through both her creative and professional journey, Lucía continues to explore her practice as an evolving medium that invites deep listening and community bonds.
