    Abstract

    AONARACHT is a groundbreaking combination of Irish traditional and experimental electronic music.
    A collection of original pieces for solo traditional musician and computer.
    A completely new soundworld created by Úna Monaghan and recorded by six of Ireland’s foremost performers. Each piece is a unique combination of the traditional musician, their instrument, and electronics.

    This recording explores how technology can be used to sound the world of traditional music beyond the tunes. A custom made interactive relationship for each musician with the computer, involving fixed media, electroacoustic sound, field recordings, improvisation and live electronics.

    Each piece has a different theme, exploring Irish traditional music and poetry, artificial intelligence, feminism, instrumentation and community. Featuring text by Maureen Boyle, Ciaran Carson and Cathal Ó Searcaigh.
