This album was inspired by Castalia Hall, Ballytobin, Co. Kilkenny. Castalia is a purpose-built hall which houses an impressive array of instruments, man of which can be heard on the album. I was curious to see what range of colours would be possible with just two instrumentalists and so invited my friend, the multi-instrumentalist, Francesco Turrisi, to join me on the adventure.
Laoise O’Brien- recorders
Francesco Turrisi- keyboards, percussion, plucked instruments
with Helen Hassett, soprano
Recording: Ben Rawlins
Graphic design: Kieran O’Sullivan
