Hegarty is a postmodern composer/performer and multimedia artist working with the convergence of materials. He performs free non-idiomatic improvisations on piano, keyboards, and electronics, experimental jazz, creates electroacoustic sound works, and composes for acoustic ensembles. He is recognized for his collaborative performances that reflect “spontaneous conversations in music.”
“His playing is bluesy, with a very light touch, nice pulse but with an approach that goes a little against the grain, sometimes angular, sometimes hesitant or cautious on purpose, as if the notes themselves are living beings wondering what to do next. Nice album!” - Stef Gjissels, www.freejazzblog.org
