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)

Clear ‘22° halo’ / ‘moon ring’, out here in Tramore tonight, from the cold.

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

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

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).

If that wasn’t you, you can listen at: open.spotify.com/album/1lXXMP...

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.
