Postcards
Delighted to announce my recent work with Crash Ensemble, βPostcardsβ has been released on RTE Culture online today. It was a great pleasure to create these visuals for Crash Ensembleβs Creators. You can watch the 26 minute long video on this link below. Postcards consists of a series of three-minute compositions by an eclectic group of creators: Dani Larkin, Emmelle Wadding, Jenn Kirby, Maeve Kelly, Michael Sullivan, Neil OβConnor, and Paul Scully. Each piece explores critical environmental and existential issues, reflecting the urgency of addressing climate change and our impact on the planet. "Postcards" was commissioned by Crash Ensemble with funds from the Arts Council of Ireland.

My New Single:
Almost Human
I used Holly Herndonβs artificially intelligent voice model app Holly+ on this track, which replicates the sound of her voice in a similar way to how DeepFake technology works. I processed the violins and some other parts of the track through the voice app and layered the output back in with the original instruments. The result is definitely artificial and something a human singer would have great difficulty performing but retains human qualities, as it is Hollyβs real voice being used. This acoustic/electronic organic/artificial dichotomy is something I have been exploring regularly in my work. The violins are by Francis Moore-Colyer and harp by Emer Lynam.
