Debut release from Cork based composer and cellist Eimear Reidy. Eimear wrote and recorded these 8 short cello pieces during a stay at Cill Rialaig in county Kerry in the West of Ireland. A number of small stone cottages rest upon the cliff top looking out onto the Atlantic ocean below. Once a deserted famine village, Cill Rialaig now acts as an artist residency and retreat for writers and musicians. It was here where Eimear would sit down in the evenings to compose this suite for solo cello, while the wind and rain would tap at her door before falling back into the ocean.
Includes unlimited streaming of Eimear Reidy - Things That Happened at Sea: A Short Story in Several parts
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
Billed as “an arboreal music and research project,” this experimental/sound art duo is inspired by the Robert Frost line, “The woods are lovely, dark and deep.” Performed and recorded outdoors, the cello and keyboards of the pair indeed invoke the spirit of the woods, and, as this is a field recording, including incidental sounds of their live session, like a barking dog, which actually doesn’t detract from the music being performed.
