about

I am delighted to bring you my new single ‘That Object Spoke To Me’. The track is a collaboration with one of Ireland’s greatest 21st century artists, Jape (AKA Richie Egan).

I’ve been a fan of Richie’s work long before I made music myself, and have always held him up as a standard bearer for Irish independent artists. Chancing my arm, I emailed him last year about possibly collaborating on a track and to my immense surprise he was not only aware of my music but had already bought my EP on Bandcamp.

‘That Object Spoke To Me’ stems from my early insecurities making music, when I feared that my lack of playing ability and technical proficiency would prevent me from creating the songs I had in my head. Eventually, I found sampling and other methods which worked for me, making music in almost collage form. Reading about collage art led me to the cutup technique popularised by William Burroughs and it clarified in my head that there are many different methods of creating. The vocal sample at the beginning of the track is from an interview with Burroughs talking about this style.

I sent Richie an instrumental and he sent me back the track with his vocals and a couple of different other parts. We went back-and-forth, eventually settling on a final cut. It was my first experience of proper collaboration and one I’ll remember extremely fondly.
The track is intended to be uplifting and dream-like, capturing the boundless possibility of life when you put your mind to something and find the beauty in the process.

lyrics

No judgement from the moon, protected profane gate Attracted to the cause, as lost as I am late,
Wild flowers are the bed, your soft and silent head is dreaming of a cow,
Eternal by the lake, we watch the painter paint, imagining release happening with peace
The water from your skin drips towards the sand, showering the ants
We took our time
