Hi, I'm a prizewinning keyboardist, composer and electronic artist from rural Ireland making experimental electronic music that incorporates elements of House, Hip Hop, Folk, Traditional Irish, Funk and Jazz. 

I am passionate about Irish music, culture and mythology.  Put me in front of a crowd with some digital and analogue hardware, samples of archaeological and world instruments and people will lose their minds.

I presented my studio album: 'The Quartz Pebble' (an experiment in using traditional Irish and pan Celtic folk melodies with electronic music and production methods) to festival goers at Uisneach and everyone went berserk.  I though it a dream to play live for thousands of people at the festival of Bealtaine, but to have the crowd really pumping in front of me was an out of body experience. 

Check out the radio edits of Drowsie Maggie below.  Other tracks from the album together with album artwork can be seen further down the page.  If you like what I'm doing please consider featuring it on your programme, podcast, blog, or other project.
