Si — Hyper[borea] 1993

an absolute gem of an EP by arch Irish musicians David Bickley of Hyper[boreal] and Ferus O’Farrell of Interference. These stunning tracks – put together in O’Farrell’s studio on the remote West Cork coast – blend O’Farrell’s beautiful folk vocals into some seriously spacey electronica/funky dance beats. Individually, Bickley and O’Farrell are geniuses in their own right; what they’ve created together brings their gifts to a whole new plane. ADRIENNE MURPHY Hotpress

All Your Life

All Your Life (Radio Mix)

Avian Attak is Fergus O'Farrell and James O'Leary from Interference with Hyper[borea]'s David Bickley. The band formed around an improv jam session in Winstanley Studios down in West County Cork. Another three sessions evolved a large catalogue of strange and interesting tracks.

Imagine Eskmo and Lorn get wasted and kidnap Brian Eno for a night in a mobile studio in the woods – and you might come close to describing the fractured digital processing of organic analogue synthetics over evolving emotive soundscapes that is theSpiral. 
As the name suggests theSPIRAL's music is spinning and cochlear and manages to be both complex and natural, resonating with its biogenic inspiration. 

theSPIRAL grew up in County Clare on Ireland's wild Atlantic west coast, the child of artist parents who relocated from Cornwall, UK soon after his birth. 
His musical journey began when he inherited a pair of synthi AKS (one only partially functioning) from his great uncle, who had worked for the pioneering synth-makers EMS. 
With the help of his dad’s Revox tape machine and some early recordings of synth textures he began to pursue a definite musical trajectory making waves in the local surf scene while still in his teens. 
Progressing from playing for friends at beach parties and raves, theSPIRAL began to devote more time to composition and found a ready audience for his unique empyreal sounds. 
Now with interest and expectation continuing to grow in theSPIRAL's work, some of these inimitable recordings are being made available to the wider public for the first time, promising fans and newcomers alike a chance to share in the experience.

“Hyper[borea] could be described as being a generation ahead of its time: intense, immediate and inexorable. Qualifies as classic” Dónal Lunny, Planxty, Moving Hearts 

Hyper[borea] are among the great unsung heroes of Irish music, with David Bickley ploughing his own rich analogue electro-furrow”. Jim Lockhart, Horslips 


CELTRONIQ continues Hyper[borea]’s award-winning journey, this time adding contributions from such luminaries of the traditional music scene as Dónal Lunny, Cormac Breatnach & John Spillane. The new LP branches even further into the Inter-Celtic world, inspired by founder David Bickley’s travels while producing the Irish television series Línte Ceoil Cheiltigh, The Celtic Songlines. During this series David travelled with Dónal Lunny from Skye to Galicia, making an LP with a myriad of traditional stars and innovators along the way, and it was these meetings that forged the friendships and collaborations that are behind CELTRONIQ’s unique sound. 
From the Irish, Manx and Cornish vocals right down to the cover photograph by Skilda’s Konan Mevel this is a true pan-Celtic production that also deeply resonates with a modern sense of ambient and electronica.
