Long After The Music Is Gone

Long After The Music Is Gone / Seán Mac Erlaine

Ergodos // 2012 // CD, Vinyl + Digital

Long After The Music Is Gone is the debut solo album from Dublin-based woodwind instrumentalist and composer Seán Mac Erlaine. It's an album of extraordinary ambience, rich with Mac Erlaine's distinctive supple reed work and subtle electronics. With each track Mac Erlaine seems to channel the atmosphere of a space or vista, immersing us.

Conceived and recorded in rural Leitrim, Long After The Music Is Gone stands as a meditation on Irish landscape, dipping into the chants of Medieval mystic Hildegard von Bingen and the work of Irish philosopher John O'Donoghue. It's all in the blood of this record, assimilated into a language of rare elegance and originality.

Available now on vinyl, compact disk and digital formats and online direct from Ergodos.ie
