     “A few years back, I went trekking on the Dingle and Kerry ways on the west coast of Ireland. I spent my nights in small villages where I would do improvised, impromptu solo violin concerts in the churches and Cathedrals. I made field recordings of these concerts and used them in an earlier release called “Gray Skies on the Edge”. Last year, I took some of that material and scored it for orchestra. Manannan Mac Lir (Irish god of the sea) is the result of that process.
