Dear Dreamers,
I hope the entry in 2025 has been wonderful and that now, you are in the waters of the new year and swimming!
This is a missive to alert you to my new upcoming EP, ‘The Falls’. For me, this is a slight, but not too extreme, departure in that it is an instrumental collection of songs.
So, let me tell you of its genesis. How did it come to be in the world? Cast your mind back to September 2023. It was a time when I did a sound design for a show called ‘Ireland Is’. This was a poetry show spearheaded by the poet Colm Keegan and Softt Productions. It featured the poets Danez Smith, Erin Fornoff, Felicia, Hollie McNish and Colm Keegan. I did about 30 pieces to accompany the poems which ranged from the political to the personal and delved into a broad emotional spectrum. It was a real buzz to do the sounds for - I had recently completed a course in Music Production in Griffith College and in a sense the ‘Ireland Is’ show gave me a chance to tap into my newly acquired skillzzzz.
The new ‘The Falls’ EP features five pieces I did for the show. It’s a meditative, slow burning affair so if you want music to focus to, work to, meditate alongside this might be for you as it’s to my mind anyway, quite still, uncluttered music.
A word of thanks to Niall Stafford (Nile Sphinx) for doing the graphic design on this, it’s great!
