about

PADDY GLACKIN
Fiddle, Tape, Live electronics

Musicians play in so many different contexts, moods and times, and for so many different people and reasons. This piece is inspired by the personal experience of the traditional musician, what they are feeling and why they are playing. It comes from my experience of traditional music in particular as a force that spans social, political, professional, historical, creative and emotional life. The live sound from the fiddle player feeds a computer improviser. Alongside this, chance processes trigger voices that interweave with a tape part inspired by archive recordings of Glackin against his live playing.

In the piece, as in life, the musician improvises, and responds to the sounds and context in which they find themselves, however unpredictable.

With the voices of Ciaran Carson and Cathal Ó Searcaigh.
Text by Ciaran Carson, Cathal Ó Searcaigh and Úna Monaghan.
Excerpts from “Last Night’s Fun” by Ciaran Carson.
Cathal Ó Searcaigh’s new poem for the piece: “Orpheus na gCnoic”.
Featuring an excerpt of Caoineadh Uí Néill, played by Séamus Creagh.

"B"
by Cormac Begley

supported by 6 fans who also own “Who Do You Play For?”

Absolutely love that deep concertina sound. And the range of expression that Cormac brings out through this instrument, well beyond the intentions of the designers or makers of these instruments. And, feel sorry for his poor bellows and reeds. He has to do a lot of personal repair on them. Cormac's album design and presentation are beautiful works of art as well. See him in concert if you can. You can really feel those bass notes resonate through a hall. balinsky
