Post Description

This largely instrumental album coalesces around the theme of the enduring Irish spirit in the face of a multitude of hardships over the centuries and through migration to the New World. 

The core of the music is the combined synth artistry of the two musicians, and there's much more - Uilleann pipes, Irish flute and whistles, Celtic harp, mandolin, and bodhran - that gives the album its Irish flavor. Occasional narration and spoken passages along with a few vocals (in English) help to convey the story. "Kathleen," for instance, is a poignant lullaby sung to a child who so far has survived the famine-about a sibling who hasn't.
