An eight-track concept compilation album, "In The Echo" was curated and produced by Ross Turner. Recorded in various locations in the historic National Concert Hall building in Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin – ranging from old lecture theatres, to dis-used stairwells, to a former morgue – this record features collaborations between Irish musicians across an athletic span of musical traditions.
“There are musicians from different disciplines working together,” says Turner. “A conduit runs through the collaborations – that is the environment, the surroundings in which the music was created.” He continues: “Recording within remote pockets and open spaces of the building provided a completely unique atmosphere to the performances. I understand what it means to most musicians to feel comfortable, and I also understand that a sense of something special happening is vitally important for inspiration and performance. When the balance is right, the results yield truly satisfying situations for the musician and the listener.” The results here are always intimate and engaging – by turns warm, dark, forlorn, gently humorous, and transcendent – and always possessed of a certain “first-touch” freshness always found in the most fertile collaborations.
Ross Turner is a Dublin-based drummer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer. Turner has worked extensively with a multitude of musicians and producers, including: Lisa Hannigan, Joe Henry (Allen Toussaint, Joan Baez, Bonnie Raitt, Elvis Costello), Aaron Dessner (The National, Taylor Swift), RTÉ Concert Orchestra, Ships, Cathy Davey, Villagers and Jape. In between working with a broad range of artists, Ross established the electronic duo I Am The Cosmos, who’s debut album, "Monochrome", garnered critical praise. Between 2014 and 2016, Turner was an artist-in-residence at the National Concert Hall, curating collaborations between with a multitude of Irish artists. Recently, he has divided his time between touring and recording with Lisa Hannigan and Villagers.

Absolutely love that deep concertina sound. And the range of expression that Cormac brings out through this instrument, well beyond the intentions of the designers or makers of these instruments. And, feel sorry for his poor bellows and reeds. He has to do a lot of personal repair on them. Cormac's album design and presentation are beautiful works of art as well. See him in concert if you can. You can really feel those bass notes resonate through a hall. balinsky
