Sean nos singer Padraigin Ni Uallachain’s rendition of An Bhean Chaointe (The Keening Woman) is subjected to a gradual pitch bend for the length of the song, set to a backdrop of field recordings of the Irish Sea recorded at Sandymount Strand, Dublin.
An mp3 player and headphones are hung from two nails on the wall that divides the gallery space and the Doctor’s consulting room. 



Lament for Article 40.3.3° (2014)

Dark, brooding, atmospheric vocals over a driving beat and dub bass lend a cinematic darkwave bluesy feel to "Still", kind of like what you might expect to get in a mashup of PJ Harvey and Massive Attack.
The song was written, recorded and produced in Dublin by Lieselle McMahon and mastered by Alex Saltz at APS Mastering, NYC.
Written in Dublin in the wake of the death of Savita Halappanavar in October 2012, lyrically the song gives some glimpse of the atmosphere in Ireland in the aftermath of the tragedy.
