about

This record is made up of three pieces connected to the first year of my son's life. The first track is a 30 minute undulating piece called 'and then you came into existence', and was written and recorded the night before my son was born. The second piece called 'and then you smiled' was written when I was away from my son working in Birmingham and recorded whilst my students were on their break from my gamelan class. The third and final piece is called 'and then you had a sleep regression' and is based on a recording of me shakily singing and trying to soothe my son to sleep in the wee hours of the morning. The whole thing is an incredibly personal album, that deals with the expectation of our son’s arrival, the fact that I’m overseas away from him on a weekly basis, and the fact that even now, he still doesn’t sleep so well. I’m really happy with the results, but I hope also for it to resonate with other listeners too.

The album was created using life-recordings made on my phone as well as a variety of beautiful analog and FM synthesizers, and a bonang panerus from the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire Gamelan played back through a custom analog fx patch at home. As with most of this music that I make, it was recorded on a Tascam DR44WL. The pieces are scored and the scores are included as a PDF with the download along with some liner notes.

about

Sean Clancy Dublin, Ireland

I am an experimental composer & performer from Ireland. I write music for electronic instruments, acoustic instruments, & environmental sounds. For the most part, my work is involved with the act of translating non-musical things into music. My music is often long, repetitive, and contains sustained drones. I am also a senior lecturer in music at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire in the UK. ... more

So soothing! So ominous. A warning siren for someone, but not you. This is a drone I can return to endlessly, knowing that it will calm me and give me some focus. Mister Meows
