Mark Haanstra and me recorded 'Tonio', a recent composition by a composer and musician we truly admire, and who is a great inspiration to us: Theo Loevendie.
It is played on viola and bass guitar (with a loop pedal in the middle section). In the middle section I also added two more viola layers. Thanks for your inspiring tune Theo!

Kypski & Ace - Don't Miss

'Thresholds' (2017) is a work for soundtrack and saxophonist, a commission from Laois County Council in conjunction with Creative Ireland to create a sound work examining the condition of pollinating insects in Ireland and what can be done to arrest their decline.

I interviewed many people whose lives and/or work in some way interact with pollinators as well as broader ecological themes, and fragments of those interviews, as well as field recordings I made, constitute the soundtrack element. I then wrote a saxophone score to accompany the soundtrack (not the other way around!), performed here by my longtime collaborator Cathal Roche. This score reflects - musically and emotionally - on various aspects of the soundtrack and on occasion imitates directly some of the speech patterns heard there.
My thanks to Laois Heritage Officer Catherine Casey and all those who generously gave their time to talk to me.
