@bsky.app.profile.cmcireland.bsky.social I enjoyed the Cór Linn & Cór na nÓg concert on Sunday with Mary Amond O'Brien, Ciarán Kelly, and the Leinster String quartet. Lovely pieces by Seán Doherty, the late Sue Furlong, Marian Ingoldsby, and Ciarán Kelly with Carl Corcoran. What a pleasure to see well-trained young singers really enjoying their performance!

New pay-what-you-want release: Sad Buffer I.
The first of three volumes indulging in sample-based minimalism. The tracks all follow a near-identical method of scrubbing back and forth through resynthesised buffers.
Several stages of degradation transform the source material into thick, haunting, harmonically rich and comforting textures.
