Thank you so, so much to the brilliant team at Féile na Gréine and Piquant Media for documenting the full performance of my piece, NEST, at Féile na Gréine festival back in August. It's amazing to have this, what an absolute gift! youtu.be/ihOsvZpGoWA?...

This week's @blindboyboatclub.bsky.social had me thinking about this poem, 'Brightening' by Doireann Ní Ghríofa.

It's pathetic, and honestly demoralising for every artist whose work is connected to this industry. This shouldn't be an artist's shame to carry, but it is, and will continue to be, until these systems change.

Two different statements, same Royal Opera House. Impartiality when it suits them.
You can't be an industry that claims to be neutral/impartial and then be selective about political issues you engage with.

The album is for the people of Palestine, then, now, and forever.

NEST is an expression of how I feel about home as refuge and how everyone deserves that, but it’s also an expression of my deep anger and sadness about the seizure of home, occupation of land, appropriation of food and culture, and the violence of colonisation.

NEST critically responds to the theme of home in Éamon de Valera’s 1943 radio address, ‘On Language and the Irish Nation’. The music for the piece went in a very unconscious direction of a Mass, not a Mass in the traditional sense, but I see the piece as a Mass for tenants of the past and present.

Very excited that my new album, NEST, will be released on @krimkram.bsky.social in June! Also very excited that NEST’s launch gig will be on June 18th at St. Fin Barre’s Cathedral as part of Cork Midsummer Festival, where I get to play the cathedral's brilliant, loud, and fierce organ!

Such a great doc from @rasherst.bsky.social and crew. Getting me sceitimíní for Open Ear 2025! So grateful to the Open Ear crew for the opportunity to compose my piece, 'NEST', for the 2024 festival and perform it in the amazing Franciscan Friary on Sherkin.

More news coming on NEST next week! :))

Dropping at NOON! With just over a month to go until the 2025 edition kicks off, here's a documentary rewind to some of that golden summer magic from last year's Open Ear Festival on Sherkin.
