about

In 2005 my Mum and Dad went to New York City for their anniversary. One of the gifts they brought back for me was a small music box that played John Lennon’s Imagine. This trinket sat idly on my bedside table for many years until it was eventually lost to time. During the lockdown, like a lot of people, I found myself clearing out the shed of my family home. While doing so, I happened upon the aforementioned music box after years of having believed it was gone for good. Now, placed on my writing desk, it came to inspire An Fhuaim is Caoine. I recorded specific notes from the music boxes’ cycle, pitched some of it down to round off the range of the instrument and eventually came to add sparse synth lines and static strings…after spending a few weeks mixing and too after a delicate mastering Ben Rawlins, An Fhuaim is Caoine was finished.

Written conceptually as Environmental Music, this piece is designed to drift like smoke around the listener and imbue their chosen environment with an added depth. My hope is that during these trying times one can use this music as an agency for reflection and mindfulness whilst also strengthening the bond between the listener and their surroundings.
Throughout quarantine, I tried as often as I could to spend time outside even if only for a short while. When writing An Fhuaim is Caoine, I kept these short excursions in mind and decided that it should be an environmental music designed for these brief moments of repose. It’s hard to know what will come of the next few months but I hope this piece can gift the listener some sense of peace and help them escape their busy mind and life if only for a moment.
