seomra folamh - new show on éist radio
As well as being involved in the running of Cork’s new community radio station éist, I have a show airing on the first Saturday of every month. seomra folamh is a mix of some of my favourite spacious and low volume experimental sound from around the world.
The next episode is at 2pm (Irish time) on Saturday 1st March. You can listen live at eist.radio
Episode 01 is archived on SoundCloud
New album and book with Anne La Berge
Anne and I have our first release in a few years out now on Splendor Records. Cork is three new improvisations, recorded in Amsterdam in 2022, and mixed in Cork in 2023. Our tracks are named after cities. This time we broke our rule and named one Maureen’s, after a pub in the city that is special to a lot of people in Cork.
Cork is available as a limited edition book by Isabelle Vigier, and digital download. It was mastered by Jim O’Rourke.
Listen, view, and download from Bandcamp
First release with Primož Bončina
On 20th March Primož and I release our first album Stone and Worship, on Cloudchamber Recordings. It’s completely different to anything I’ve done before, and is four tracks of high volume, intense drone. The album also features guest vocals from Dylan Desmond (Bell Witch) and Golem Mechanique.
