This is a version of Cooley's Reel, a traditional Irish Tune I played on Classical guitar.  For the entire piece I used only one guitar and one microphone to create all sounds, beats, etc. This is an idea that has been floating around my head for a while. Hope you like it.

Solaris (Radio Edit)

“Aquene,” meaning “peace” in the Algonquian Native American language, is a deeply meditative instrumental piece by Irish composer Micko Roche. Rooted in themes of love, tranquility, and spiritual harmony, the track channels the serene energy of nature and indigenous reverence for the earth.



Like a slow-moving river winding through sacred land, Aquene flows with textured ambient layers, soft acoustic elements, and organic rhythms that evoke a sense of stillness and reflection. Inspired by the natural world and Native American symbolism—especially the feather as a messenger of spirit—this composition is both grounding and transcendent.



Aquene invites the listener into a soundscape where every note breathes calm, offering a space for introspection, healing, and quiet connection with the inner and outer world.

Connected marks the final single from Waterford artist 3rd Degree, released via My.Co Records. Following a run of well-received tracks from the forthcoming album — many of which topped charts on both Juno and Bandcamp — this fourth single feels like 3rd Degree has saved some of his finest work for last.

The track offers a vivid glimpse into the songwriter’s more expressive, narrative-driven side. It’s the most lyrically dense release so far and one of the album’s deeper, more introspective moments, showcasing the range and stylistic diversity the full project promises.

Opening with snappy drums and a dark, driving synth bassline, Connected soon reveals a more euphoric edge through a beautifully arranged string section that elevates the track throughout. Returning collaborator Micko Roche once again contributes atmospheric guitar work, weaving through the production with a flair reminiscent of early Portishead or Massive Attack.

At the forefront are 3rd Degree’s smooth yet raw vocals — warm, resonant, and loaded with emotional weight — exploring themes of love, unity, and our bond with nature. Smart synth work and electric textures orbit the vocal and string arrangements, merging with the low-end groove to bring the track to a powerful close.

Connected arrives December 12th, standing as one of 3rd Degree’s strongest and most complete works to date.
