stephenoboyle Heard Eimear play and hold the room in rapt attention in Connolly's of Leap on Friday last - to a crowd who were (mostly) there for music from a different place. But, every note she played, was heard and held, in every heart that listened. Beautiful.

PadraigC This is one of my favourite albums to work to. I find it to be very grounding, relaxing and inspiring. Perfect for these long winter nights.

about

Originally released on limited cassette by Hypnagogic Tapes

Debut release from Cork based composer and cellist Eimear Reidy. Eimear wrote and recorded these 8 short cello pieces during a stay at Cill Rialaig in county Kerry in the West of Ireland. A number of small stone cottages rest upon the cliff top looking out onto the Atlantic ocean below. Once a deserted famine village, Cill Rialaig now acts as an artist residency and retreat for writers and musicians. It was here where Eimear would sit down in the evenings to compose this suite for solo cello, while the wind and rain would tap at her door before falling back into the ocean.

This CD re-issue also includes an unreleased track not on the original cassette pressing.

Whose Woods These Are
by Eimear Reidy & Natalia Beylis

supported by 14 fans who also own “Things That Happened at Sea: A Short Story in Several Parts”

Billed as “an arboreal music and research project,” this experimental/sound art duo is inspired by the Robert Frost line, “The woods are lovely, dark and deep.” Performed and recorded outdoors, the cello and keyboards of the pair indeed invoke the spirit of the woods, and, as this is a field recording, including incidental sounds of their live session, like a barking dog, which actually doesn’t detract from the music being performed.
