Oh yes, certainly a bonus episode on ‘Oró Sé do Bheatha Bhaile’ would be something very valuable, already what you said in this episode sounds fascinating. All those political entanglements that this kind of song must inevitably fall into, the variation of interpretations through the decades....  For me, a pleasant surprise was the two very different instrumental versions of this song recorded by The Mary Wallopers for the documentary ‘Crock of Gold: A Few Rounds with Shane MacGowan’

"It just goes to show that having these little leads or gateways out there in visible places can be a good thing for those of us who are inclined to dig a little bit deeper."  I love this thought, and the story of your Pretty Saro deep dive. Each of these episodes starts me on my own tangential deep dives, so thank you!

Another trad I met in my youth thanks to Pentangle (who made a more pressing and jazzy version). Great episode with a great closure (Devils by The Rheingans Sisters is reeeeally something)

One musician. 2 saxophones, bass clarinet, trumpet, kalimba. Effects and Looper. It's all.

Richer Than Blood

‘Cohesion' is the second installment in a three album series reflecting on the many calamitous water crises affecting life on this planet.  More info: https://williamryanfritch.bandcamp.com/album/cohesion

Fifty percent of the sales for the three album series will be donated to communities that are at the front line of these crises, in perpetuity.

Multiple rounds of donations have and are continuing to be directed towards: https://cooperationjackson.org

In contrast to 'Polarity,' which was largely created by synthesized and electronic signals being transformed into acoustic phenomena. 'Cohesion' was constructed solely from acoustic instruments (baritone and alto saxophones, oboe, contrabass clarinet, bassoon, tuba, etc) mic’d and processed live to behave and sound like synthesized and/or sequenced sound sources. Using multiple contact mics, filters and overdrive circuits, even faint breaths and valve clicks are given a weight and presence that can anchor massive, heaving rhythms. The rattling irregularities of each horn are accentuated and fore-fronted in ways that make them behave like wholly new and grisly things.

Yui Onodera / Ray
https://serein.co.uk/releases/yui-onodera-ray

Ray by Yui Onodera is a lithe album of glittering electro-acoustic music which blends impeccable sound design and processing with acoustic instrumentation. The material was originally commissioned for use in a film about John Cage, so it's no surprise to hear the percussive sound of a prepared piano appear regularly throughout the album. Its plucked, staccato strings are contrasted by lush string arrangements and textural washes, argent synthesizer arpeggios add their own precise voice to the mix.

The material for Ray will feature on the film Cage 64 which is to be released in the near future. Our thanks to director Markus Heidingsfelder for letting us release it. The sleeve artwork is a collage of stills from the set design for Europeras (a series of five operas by John Cage) shown at the Ruhrtriennale in Germany, also kindly used with permission.

Strange Slip In Time

Tom Waits (on Jim Wilson): "Wilson, he's always playing with time. I heard a recording recently of crickets slowed way down. It sounds like a choir, it sounds like angel music. Something sparkling, celestial with full harmony and bass parts - you wouldn't believe it. It's like a sweeping chorus of heaven, and it's just slowed down, they didn't manipulate the tape at all. So I think when Wilson slows people down, it gives you a chance to watch them moving through space. And there's something to be said for slowing down the world."
