CONTAE LUIMNIGH
TÍRDHREACHA BEO

An album of improvised performances recorded in outdoor locations across rural County Limerick between 2023-2025.

Mícheál Keating - solo voice + live signal processing (Max/MSP)

Captured using a pair of LOM basicUchos into a Zoom F3. No direct signal or overdubs were recorded.

This album is part of the multimedia project ‘Live Landscapes’ and comes with an 108-page book of 120mm County Limerick landscape photography produced in collaboration with designer Hugh Heffernan.

“Listening to Mícheál’s new album Live Landscapes loud in my headphones, walking home in the rain — feeling deeply irked and in love with the natural world: the rotting leaves, the smell of death, fresh muddy tidal river water, screaming birds. The spectral voice that traverses the album’s 18 tracks seems to embody all of this, singing a gentle, wordless song.” — Ailbhe Wakefield Drohan (from the ‘Live Landscapes’ Exhibition Text)
