A short classical contemporary piano piece I composed about a person loosing their mind

Mapping the Mindscape

A piece inspired from a poem collected by Douglas Hyde in the 1800s. The abyss between soprano and double bass represent the distance between the speaker in the poem as she travels to the States during the famine, and her love back in Ireland. Aesthetically the music takes inspiration from the text.

This recording is from a short cuts concert at Maynooth University. The performers are Orla Shannon (soprano) and Eoin Donoghue (double bass)

Mo Bhrón ar an Bhfarraige

Electronic Pop thing

This is a piece for 3 violins, 2 violas, 2 cellos, 2 double basses and a juggler. The piece translates juggling patterns into music which represents a storm. The juggler theatrically builds on this imagery . On a personal level the piece is about me struggling to find a balance between my passion for circus arts and academia.
