A drone piece that uses a single cello sample as the sound source. The idea is to play on the listener's awareness of acousmatic and technological listening. 

Hello Cello

silence, ambience, the presence of nature, the absence of nature or audio pollution.

Mumbles - Performed by Adrian Mantu

Commissioned by Mean Time
The piece considers the women of 1916 and their influence on Ireland of 2016. Mostly from listening to interviews and reading newspaper clippings, including Bean na h-Eireann, I got an emotional impression of some of the women of 1916 -  their impetuses, fears, strengths and challenges. I sensed frustration from a lack of control, a pronounced sense of responsibility, a deep level of compassion for children, an absence of pity, but a great deal of charity, and strength and conviction, despite uncertainty. Rather than allow things remain as they were for the time being, the influential men and women of 1916 had a pronounced focus on the now. The piece is my response and embodiment of these impressions.
