acmochi The cover image on this release is strange and unnerving. I wish I had never seen it, but it's too late now, and my dreams will be haunted forever. Luckily, the music within acts as a soothing elixir that will cleanse your spirit of any hauntings or curses. If you're a fan of healing vibratory frequencies, then you'll also enjoy Ceara Conway. Seán features heavily on her album CAOIN, and it also includes a vocal rendition of Amhrán na Leabhar. The cover image is also less disturbing 😱😱😱😱😱😱 Favorite track: Amhrán Na Leabhar.

Frank Flynn Reflective clarinet improvisations informed by diverse sources such as Hildegard of Bingen and Irish Traditional song with a discrete wash of electronica. It's quite meditative so probably heard best in the small hours with the head phones! If you liked John Surman's solo albums on ECM you'll love this. Lovely stuff! Favorite track: Amhrán Na Leabhar.

about

Ergodos is delighted to announce the release of Long After The Music Is Gone, the new album from Dublin-based woodwind instrumentalist and composer Seán Mac Erlaine. It's an album of extraordinary ambience, rich with Mac Erlaine's distinctive supple reed work and subtle electronics. With each track Mac Erlaine seems to channel the atmosphere of a space or vista, immersing us.

Conceived and recorded in rural Leitrim, Long After The Music Is Gone stands as a meditation on Irish landscape, dipping into the chants of Medieval mystic Hildegard von Bingen and the work of Irish philosopher John O'Donoghue. It's all in the blood of this record, assimilated into a language of rare elegance and originality.

Seán Mac Erlaine is recognised as one of Ireland's most forward-thinking jazz musicians. Mac Erlaine works in a variety of settings maintaining a busy performance schedule in Ireland and internationally, working in free improvisation, contemporary jazz, folk music and experimental theatre. He performs with a hugely diverse range of musicians and artists, reflecting his own versatility and interest in cross-platform work — recent collaborators have included Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh, This is How we Fly and Donal Dineen.

An encouraging example of the spirit of innovation current in Irish contemporary music

One of the most original voices on the Dublin scene
