A closer look at the artwork I designed for my ‘Geography History’ (a song about Waterford, commissioned by RTÉ)- releasing Fri 11/04/25

Referencing the song’s title- I wanted the artwork to have a ‘spirit of place’, & something that shows the passage of time - so I used a water-marbling technique.

‘Geography, History’ releases on 11th April. It was commissioned by @rteradio1 in 2024, for the doc. series ‘The County Measure’ - which invited me to compose a piece of music inspired by Waterford.
 
I’ve a limited edition blue vinyl, and foil art print, available to mark the release (links in bio)

Finally got to spend some time with an Arturia Minifreak - but I didn’t have any monitors, so here’s some audio-bleed from my headphones, and creaking sounds from me pressing keys…

Venus, and a crescent moon - on a wintry evening yesterday, in Tramore, Waterford.

The T.V. is rebelling against playing another episode of Tipping Point.

Not quite getting melodies out of it yet - but having lots of fun getting to know the features of the Stylophone Theremin, which I finally got to sit down with today.

To mark the Winter Solstice, I’ve just made the demo (what I call my ‘Púca Version’) of my piece ‘Winter Sun’ from 2021, available on more streaming services for the 1st time.

'Púca' is the Irish for ghost, & also what I call the icon in my logo- & a good way of describing ‘demo’ versions of songs

Looking for a slightly melancholic Christmas Playlist? You might enjoy my ‘Waiting For Christmas’ playlist (heavy on Sufjan Stevens & Phoebe Bridgers but also has a number of my winter releases, & some of my favourite wintry songs from Irish & international artists): open.spotify.com/playlist/2jg...

Now I’m graduated, it’s nice to share some college postgrad work from the last year. I made this ‘advert’ (Full version @ youtu.be/WU7yo1Kqel4?...) as part of an overall digital media/marketing module assignment. I imagined a sound-walk for Tramore, Waterford & branded/made a series of assets for it

Mix of emotions listening to new Talos songs this morning. They're amazing of course

The woman who accused Conor McGregor and his friend of rape moved this year after her property was invaded by a group of men wearing balaclavas who stabbed her partner and broke her windows, it can now be reported

If you're the 1 person in North Battleford, Canada, who just listened to ‘Luan' 340 times in 5 days on Spotify, reach out to me for some free merch (think I’ve a Luan art print from 2020 in storage that I'll pull out for you).

It’s time.

Last week I graduated with a 1st Class Honours ‘Postgraduate Diploma in Science in Digital Media with Business Analytics' from SETU!

A mixture of design, digital media, programming, data analytics& digital business strategies – it was a good match for my mix of visual arts, & business, backgrounds!

I was delighted to be in The Munster Express newspaper last week, for an interview about ‘Geography, History’ - a new piece of music I was commissioned by RTÉ Radio 1 to write about Waterford.
