In the same city centre Dublin flat on New Year’s Eve over the years 2008, 2015, and 2019, three women reflect on the force of their desires.

Rebecca’s unrequited love for an aloof, narcissistic older woman; Jean’s obsession with a partner’s former lover, intense enough to verge into the erotic; and Catherine’s yearning to bear a child, to create a companion and break out of a painful seclusion. Their voices join each other across time, in an attempt to give a name to their desires.

Rebecca:
Frances, I looked over you with such shameless intensity
that I know you could feel it
Right away you were vivid, in full colour,
in a way that was almost too much,
which could nearly make you sick
if you looked too long

Jean:
I still feel that first low ache 
of you out there in the world
more beautiful than me
The blonde almost transparent
the skin so fine upon your eyes
purple threads beneath the lids
Your name won’t pass his lips anymore
His silence makes you louder in my head

Catherine:
Dear Baby
Here is the thing about a baby
it tells the time
The months are clear and known
here she smiles for the first time
now she walks without falling
there her tooth comes loose 
trapped in a wooden box
Dear Baby
there are things happening in the world
none of them to me
there are noises being made
just beyond my window

Jean:
He asked me to forget.
Would I marry him anyway?
Would I have his baby?

Rebecca:
The red slash of your mouth
in the steam of the kitchen
always parting to try something new
and melting into a happy O
when the something was good

electronic version of Hireth
originally premiered for ensemble and electronics (Black Page Orchestra at Music Current Festival)

Text by Declan Synnott
I have been looking
I have been searching
Looking
With my ears wide open
My whole body
Searching
Searching, searching even in my sleep
I feel you
But I don’t see you
Our heart
Our heart disembodied
Detached by my nature
I know when I find you
I’ll know you never left
Outwards
Finding a core

Hireth (Elba's Lament) - electronic version

Susan Geaney - Stumbling Block - Kirkos Ensemble - ICC Takeover

Performed by Trio Phoenix at the Peabody Conservatory's Cohen-Davison Family Theatre on May 5th, 2016.

This piece, dedicated with gratefulness to Trio Phoenix, follows a meditative journey from billowing chaos to quiet, serene stasis. I’ve noticed that there is a great deal of music which concerns itself with the concept of organic growth but not so much music concerned with organic decay ­- a concept every bit as embedded within the natural world and the human experience, and arguably just as beautiful. To that end, I thought it would be interesting to write a piece which begins "in medias res" at peak ferocity and gradually dwindles down to a calm whisper.

I should learn to look at an empty sky (piano trio)

Derealization - Quintet for flute, clarinet, violin, cello and marimba (2018)

@opalsunn's return to Nick Höppner's Touch From A Distance is sort of a recap of 2019 - a year that proved pretty incredible for the duo of Alex Kassian and Oba Hiroaki. Their live show took them quite literally all over the world including Tokyo, Valencia, Ho-Chi-Minh-City, Hanoi, Fusion Festival, England's beloved Field Maneuvers and last but not least: Panorama Bar in Berlin, where they performed twice in 2019  as part of the Touch From A Distance labelnights.
Their „Laika EP“ has been largely inspired by their first Panaroma-Bar-performance in january last year, which they - unassuming, yet assertive - took by storm. Eight months later their show in the Laika tent at the UK's best kept festival secret Field Maneuvers marked a second highlight in Opal Sunn's calendar. As a tribute, Opal Sunn have called the opening track to this record „Laika“.
Their second ep for Touch From A Distance is picking things up, where their debut left off, meaning Opal Sunn's sound design is as pristine as a mountain spring and their arrangements are as tight and effective as ever. Having played numerous gigs in the meantime, there seems to be a new focus, though. All four tracks feel much more centered and balanced, aiming quite effortlessly at  a heaving dancefloor.
„Laika“, the ep's lead track, sees Opal Sunn at their most effective and peak time. A long build up and a rolling 303 bassline make for a total sureshot of a track.
On „Minority State“, the duo let's their Electro inclinations run free, fusing razor sharp beats with icy melodies and abstract sound effects.
On the b-side, „Holy Mountain“ is essential Opal Sunn: Glistening arpeggios, gliding melodies and floating beats create a psychedelic atmosphere predestined to lose yourself in.
The ep ends with „Tangerine Blues“, an equally atmospheric and trance-y  track embedded in a rather broken beat, going for a more cinematic vibe.
