All in Your Head

The Panti Personals S3 E2 Dáithí

Panti Bliss is with the Ballyvaughan native, and electronic meets traditional music artist Dáithí, in this episode of The Panti Personals. Dáithí grew up in the heartland of Irish traditional music in Co.Clare, he was playing the fiddle by the age of six and  his grandfather was the legendary concertina player Chris Dorney, but while his music draws on that well, and his own sense of place, his artistry is shaped by digital tools. He had a viral hit 'Mary Keane's Introduction' (2015) sampling an audio recording of his grandmother talking about her young days and how she fell in love. His work is highly original, sound-rich and evocative, and his side hustle is a collaboration with BellX1 singer Paul Noonan as the band 'House Plants'.

We Only Want The Earth - Audio Preview

Chapter 3 of the audiobook of 'A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man' by James Joyce.

The audiobook was produced as part of a digital multimedia edition of James Joyce’s first novel, created by a team from University College Dublin as part of the Decade of Centenaries (2012-2022), which celebrates Irish history and cultural heritage.

Explore the digital edition at http://www.joyceportrait100.com/

The creators of the audiobook for this edition of 'A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man' have considerable expertise in bringing Joyce’s voice to life. UCD’s Professor Gerardine Meaney and Athena Media previously collaborated with Barry McGovern, the well-known Irish actor, on the podcast series and an iPhone app based on Joyce’s short story The Dead. In 2016, Sam McGovern joined this team to create a full-length audio version of Joyce’s first novel.

Rather than featuring a single voice, this reading of the novel creates a dialogue between Joyce’s mature voice and that of his younger, remembered self.  As the project team note:

“We wanted to have a young voice for Stephen himself – after all this is Joyce’s own coming of age novel with a strong trace of his own life and experience in it”.

This was achieved through the dialogue of Barry McGovern’s mature voice and the youthful voice of  Sam McGovern, who played Stephen Dedalus in the 2015 Dublin stage adaptation of the novel and is a former UCD Ad Astra scholar.

The interplay of these two voices in this reading of the 1916 text represents a unique contemporary interpretation of Joyce’s coming-of-age novel, whose themes remain as raw and as relevant today as they did upon their original publication.
