Terra Alta residency

This residency was curated by sound artist Linda O Keeffe and composer Tony Doyle. The location was the small village of La Fatarella in the northern Terra Alta region of Catalonia. Many pleasant hours were spent recording wind turbines, local festivals, and the cicada of the fields.

Hurrian Hymn No. 6

“Hurrian Hymn No. 6” is the oldest known piece of music, a cult hymn from 3400 years ago. The cuneiform signs in the Hurrian language were discovered in the ancient Syrian city of Ugarit. I started this arrangement a few years ago, but have completed and released it now in dedication to the people of Syria.

Dust on my Hands

This four channel composition premiered in Dublin as part of Listen/compose/perform, curated by Karen Power.

The original tracks were created by sounding the former Royal Cork Yacht Club of Cobh, Ireland, using materials such as beach stones, upright piano, and rusted iron ornaments.
