AONARACHT

£14.99

Released: 18th February 2023. 'AONARACHT' is a groundbreaking combination of Irish traditional and experimental electronic music. A collection of original pieces for solo traditional musician and computer. A completely new soundworld created by Una Monaghan and recorded by six of Ireland's foremost performers. Each piece is a unique combination of the traditional musician, their instrument, and electronics. This recording explores how technology can be used to sound the world of traditional music beyond the tunes. A custom made interactive relationship for each musician with the computer, involving fixed media, electroacoustic sound, field recordings, improvisation and live electronics. Each piece has a different theme, exploring Irish traditional music and poetry, artificial intelligence, feminism, instrumentation and community. Featuring text by Maureen Boyle, Ciaran Carson and Cathal O Searcaigh.
