Taken from Aidan O'Rourke's second 'solo' record An Tobar.
Inspired by The Isle of Mull, it’s geography, music and people, Aidan has written a new work to celebrate the tenth anniversary of An Tobar, The Tobermory Arts Centre

An Tobar was recorded by some of the finest musicians in Scotland.

Aidan O'Rourke-Fiddle
Phil Bancroft-Tenor Saxophone
Martin Green- Accordion/Electronics
Catriona McKay-Scottish Harp
Martin O'Neil- Bodhran and Percussion

With poetry specially written for the project by award-winning writer Aonghas MacNeacail, the music reflects on the origins of communities and settlements on Mull and the effect of modern times on the island. The work was composed during a residency in Tobermory, where Aidan used the late Martyn Bennett’s old studio in An Tobar which Martyn used to call The Well.

The Noize Choir is a performance ensemble that was formed in 2011 by Newcastle based artists Lindsay Duncanson and Marek Gabrysch. It involves a loose collective of noise enthusiasts with a common desire to use the human voice free of the traditional restraints of typical choral settings, language or musical notation. Their work is based on a shared fascination with science, culture and landscape. They indulge in phenomenological explorations of museum collections, or imaginings of our geological past. Replicating and experimenting with the sound of machines or the natural world, Noize Choir continually find ways to push and pull the idea of what a choir can be. Noize Choir have composed and performed in French churches and on Austrian radio, at the Baltic Centre for contemporary arts, The Literary and Philosophical Society of Newcastle Upon Tyne, and the Grade II listed Preston Bus station.
