A quirky 10 track cd of funky music from one of Ireland's most creative fiddlers, featuring new multilayered compositions as well as traditional tunes transformed with cool crosstunings and soundscapes.
Bio / Background
Described in the Irish Times as inhabiting the eccentric fringe of Irish music, the elliptical Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh orbits a different planet to most Irish fiddlers.
This short CD consists of 10 quirky tracks: six brand spanking new pieces from his own imagination, alongside four novel interpretations of traditional tunes.
Some tracks, like 'Fead an Iolar' and 'Dún do Shúil', are straightforward - they feature Caoimhín playing solo hardanger fiddle, using weird and wonderful crosstunings to create a new ambience for these old tunes. 'The Old Waltz' and 'Wild Goose Chase' find him creating a new approach to presenting traditional tune forms, with a sense of soundscape and beauty. Other tracks, like 'its all about the rhythm of her toes' and 'the mole man of hackney', are multilayered creations of madness, a quirky and fun stereo abstraction.
Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh is regarded as one of the most exciting and creative musicians in traditional music.

I never heard such a playing of traditional irish music. It surely renovates its schemes and it's a pleasure to listen.

This album is extremely relaxing. Very chill considering it's bagpipes.
