Keir Neuringer is a saxophonist, composer, and writer committed to emancipatory and interdisciplinary practices in his work, activism, and parenting. He is a co-founder of the critically-acclaimed band Irreversible Entanglements and the improvisation trio Dromedaries. Traveling widely to present his work, he has appeared internationally on festival stages, in underground spaces, and within academia. His long-form solo saxophone playing is documented on his 2014 double album Ceremonies Out of the Air; he also performs on electric and electronic keyboard instruments, writes and narrates text (most notably with Dutch group Ensemble Klang, who released the 2020 album of his work Elegies & Litanies), and composes largely outside of conventional new music scenes. After completing an undergraduate composition degree in the US, he spent two years on a Fulbright research grant at the Academy of Music in Krakow, absorbing and participating in the Polish avant-garde and forming deep collaborative relationships with duo partner Rafal Mazur and both Marek and Tomek Choloniewski. He then lived in The Hague for eight years, curating audiovisual art and performance and earning a masters degree from the experimental ArtScience Institute. In the 2010s he moved to Philadelphia, participating in its radical art and anti-carceral activist scenes. He is currently based in Ithaca, New York, where he dee-jays Jumping in the Sugarbowl, a weekly two-hour program on WRFI community radio.


"...with Neuringer's music...mortal purpose is a given."
