Flying Man – Live Looping Showcase

Celebrate NZ Music Month at Tūhura with an intimate performance and demonstration from one of Dunedin's most unique live acts.

Flying Man is the stage name of Irish-born singer, guitarist, and songwriter Alan Ned Gray—a musician who builds entire sonic landscapes on stage, one loop at a time. Blending programmed beats, live looping, and layered harmonies, his electroacoustic sound pairs haunting melodies and infectious rhythms with lyrics that tell stories from snapshots in time.

With a top 40 single in the Irish charts, successful tours of the US East Coast, and over 200,000 Spotify streams to his name, Alan brings a wealth of experience to an evening that promises to be as educational as it is entertaining.

This isn't just a performance; it's a peek behind the curtain. Alan will walk you through his setup, show you how the looping technology works, and even invite the audience to become part of the loop themselves.
