about

SAILEOG NÍ CHEANNABHÁIN
piano, live electronics, voice

This piece is about:
the piano and its relationship to traditional music, now and in the past;
Saileog as a singer and musician;
what happens when another takes material and uses it or changes it;
colonisation; the interruption of space, concentration or intention;
the architecture of the piano, its range, and how different that is to putting a whistle in your inside pocket;
chamber music, background music, and performance contexts;
what traditional music is;
the inner voice of musicians;
space to think.

This piece quotes from seven of Moore’s Irish Melodies, published in 1859 arranged by John Stevenson, and seven corresponding traditional melodies in Saileog’s arrangement.
