Dialect is the solo project of British musician and composer Andrew PM Hunt. Embracing an intuitive, collage-like approach to sound, he assembles rich organic textures with evocative electro-acoustic environments, resulting in compositions that are both fragmented and deeply personal. Following a progression of concept-rich releases across almost a decade, Dialect marks a return to RVNG Intl. in 2024 with Atlas of Green, a work of speculative musical poetry melding a patchwork of scavenged relics and bygone hues through the shimmers of a mid-future in flux.
Often inspired by literature as a way of organizing his musical impulses, Hunt is drawn to ideas around circular time, spirituality and ecology. His burgeoning interest in the fantasy writing of Ursula K. Le Guin and Gene Wolfe, as well as the work of Italian philosopher Federico Campagna, has fed into the ever-expanding mythologies and magic of Dialect’s sonic sphere. With his arrival at Atlas of Green in 2024, Dialect elegantly molds unexacting details of memory and mistranslation, as the album imagines a young musician named Green working in a future era, where lost signals and enduring impulses are unearthed from thesediments of technology and time.
Nurturing new gradients between improvisation and composition in his live show, Dialect navigates both the realms of narrative and pure sensation, grounding his material by prioritizing emotional depth and resonance. “I’m interested in achieving a balance of design and chance in my music, inspired by natural processes,”.
Previous appearances at Rewire, Making Time ∞ and a European tour supporting Yann Tiersen have been very well received.
He is also a member of acclaimed minimalist ensemble Ex-Easter Island Head (Rocket Recordings).

Neil Quigley is a Composer and Artist from Ireland who is currently living between Kilkenny, Ireland and Glasgow, Scotland.
Neil primarily makes solo work but is also in a duo with the composer Sam Scranton called Physique, a quartet with Bryn Davis, Nick Meryhew and Sam Scranton called The World’s Greatest Drum Programmer and an electroacoustic ensemble with Simon Wiens and Rachel Ní Chuinn called Network Music Glasgow.
Neil is currently represented by The Contemporary Music Centre Ireland.
His recent solo works centre on a speculative history of an audio research laboratory based in parochial Ireland in the late 20th century. This work is released as an ongoing anthology series entitled the "Kilkenny Electroacoustic Research Laboratory Anthology”.
His other work focuses on sonic representations of space, both real and virtual, and the interpersonal politics of the musical workspace, viewing the dynamics of music culture as a way of examining broader issues of labour and societal hierarchies.
His work has been described as “all very synthetic, even sometimes comical” and “very confident” by The Journal of Music, as “also rather beautiful” by Nialler9, and as having a “dry and unpretentious wit” by Eoin Murray of the Quietus/DJ Mag. His most recent work has been released on Amalgam Records (US), Parlour Tapes+ (US), Miúin (Irl), Destiny Trax (US), The Department of Energy (Irl) and Moot Records (Irl).
