Info:

BY A SKY is a new performance project centred around a core duo of Nathan Sherman (amplified viola, electronics, percussion) and Garrett Sholdice (keyboard, electronics). Sherman and Sholdice draw on their backgrounds in classical and contemporary classical music and their shared enthusiasm for drone metal and immersive, highly focussed sonic experiences. Their original material is characterised by extremes of dynamic: the delicate and intimate co-existing with the violent and abrasive. Spacious and cathartic, these soundscapes are sometimes haunted by the ghosts of older music (Bach, Ravel, Catalan folk lullabies...).

In Cloak & Womb is a song cycle for three female voices composed by Sadhbh O'Sullivan (Sive). Taking inspiration from the legacy of Brigid the saint, the goddess and the woman, the songs explore how her echo might resonate in the world today, particularly in relation to themes of climate change and social justice.
