Joyful, Joyful

I initially wrote, recorded, mixed & mastered this EP in the space of 3 weeks for a project in collaboration with The Playhouse & Field Day Theatre Company - a production company formed in Derry in 1980 as a cultural and intellectual response to the political crisis, spearheaded by the illustrious playwright Brian Friel and actor Stephen Rea. 

The EP is inspired in-part by 'The Nutmeg's Curse' by Amitav Ghosh: a non-fiction book which meditates on the intersection of colonialism & its effect on the climate crisis. The songs are an auditory representation of sonic landscape I had imagined in my head & how human interaction can begin to shift & change that environment; for better and for worse.
