ABOUT ME

note: I’m in the middle of writing this bio at the moment; there’s still stuff that needs to be added. Please bear with me!

dia duit!

I’m Síoda. I’m a digital multimedia artist from the west of Ireland. I make lots of things and most of them involve computers!

what things exactly?

Well, you’re looking at one of them right now. I hand-coded this website from scratch using plain HTML, CSS, and a sprinkle of JavaScript. (I’m a CSS nerd so I try to avoid the scripting where possible, but I’m not allergic to it like some folks.)

I make music as SÍODA. I don’t have too much released at the moment, but I’m working on an album right now! It’s hopefully gonna be out by September 2026.

I’ve got a YouTube channel where I make things on my computer and talk about the process.

And there’s always other shiny things that catch my eye from time to time.

oh by the way - I’m open to work!

I’ve done paid work in graphic design, motion design, video production, and front-end web development in the past, and I’d be well able to make music or do sound design if the opportunity arises. I’m also not opposed to taking on something entirely new if you think I’d be up for the task. Just send me an email :)

how did i get here?

I’ve been interested in making art with computers since I was old enough to understand it was possible. When I was 9, I started playing around with Scratch on my dad’s old laptop, building games and animations. As a teenager, I got into digital sound design and music production, making crazy electro house tunes out of my bedroom (you can still find them online if you know where to look!) I wanted artwork and branding for my music, so I got into graphic design. Then I wanted to market myself, so I learned how to edit videos and started making tutorials and TikToks.

This was all well and good but it wasn’t until I got into uni that I really began to branch out. My course had introductory classes for all sorts of creative tech, and that’s where I picked up web dev, 3D modelling, Max/MSP, colour grading, and more advanced motion design. I ended up really exploring the perceptual relationship between music and video, leading into my final project: Syncmap, a slightly insane middleware application that I use for my live music performances.
