‘I’ll Never be Found’, with Spoken word by Chanelle Marzouk

The initial seed of inspiration emerged from a improv jam session with Daniel McDermott when he came to visit back in 2016. I built on that idea by layering the bassline with 3 slightly different arpeggios. The slightly different rhythms of the basslines was a accident but I liked it so much I did not change it. At times causes the bass to sound like it is conflict with itself. My friend Chanelle Marzouk wrote and performed the spoken word part. I effected her voice with a formant filter to make it sound darker, robotic and masculine. I also recorded my acoustic duo partner Francis Moore Colyer playing the violin and put a lot of time-stretching effects on it which formed a spacious and organic pad sound. There is also some finger clicks, djembe, handclaps and whale song in there too. My process with electronic music is to effect the organic sounds to make them sound electronic and give the electronic parts enough modulation and subtle variations as an instrumentalist would so they sound organic in origin. The result is a bio-mechanical, mesh of organic and electronic sounds.

I was also producer and guitarist of organic electronica group 'TeaTronik'. There are some tracks from our new album here too. Our debut single released by Mostar Records has got some great reviews and we released our debut album with Diatribe Records in May 2013.
Here are some tracks from our album.

"Classical at its core, the music can be described as mad, instrumental, elegant, nonchalant, cinematic, fearless, foolish, and somehow very heroic - we love it. If parallel universes exist, this is how classical music sounds in the neighboring universe to ours"

Secret Eclectic

"Celsey manages to reinvigorate this timeless piece. Imagine the warm sound of analog electronics you could hear in a Vangelis’ song, sprinkled with some psychedelia drops wrapped in a melancholic package. A modern rework that is not afraid to experiment but at the same time respects and acknowledges the original work"

Music Dances While You Sleep

"Newly formed Dublin-based duo Celsey and Monica Harkin are already producing intriguing electronic sounds with nods and winks to Amiina, Fever Ray, and Portishead. Hear and download latest tracks on their Soundcloud page."

Jim Carroll, The Irish Times

"I love the rich texture of their sound involving field recordings, balanced beautifully by the sweet vocal."

The Confused Eclectic

"Wilder" connects Monica's sweet voice with all the elements above and it is truly almost impossible to put a genre on this one, but it really doesn't matter since it's an outstanding piece of electronic music."

Adalberto, Origamitracks.blogspot.com

“An excellent example of chilled out electronic that could easily rival the big names in the field. TeaTronik’s new release ‘Home’ is successful at developing a slow, easy-going pace that is neither boring or repetitive. Definitely looking forward to hearing future releases from this band; they’ll go far”. 4/5
