Keir Neuringer is a saxophonist, composer, and writer committed to emancipatory and interdisciplinary practices in his work, activism, and parenting. He co-founded the critically-acclaimed band Irreversible Entanglements and co-leads the improvisation trio Dromedaries. Traveling widely to present his work, he has appeared internationally on festival stages, in underground spaces, and occasionally within academia. His solo saxophone playing is documented most notably 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, which released the album of his work Elegies & Litanies in 2020), and composes largely outside of conventional new music scenes. After completing an undergraduate composition degree at Ithaca College, he spent two years on a Fulbright research grant in Krakow, absorbing and participating with 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, and is currently based in Ithaca, New York.
