about

Recorded live on 31st December 2019 between 21:30 and 22:00 at Whelan's in Dublin City Center.

This is a semi-improvised set I performed on New Years Eve 2019. The gig was a support slot for Belfast's And So I Watch You From Afar. This is the last piece of music I recorded prior to the new decade. My first release was in 2010, which makes this EP feel personal and significant as it marks the end of my first decade of recording and releasing music.

This set was prepared in as much as I had pre-programmed all the drum patterns and synthesiser sequences, other than that it was totally improvised and no backing tracks were used. The live set was recorded direct to a Zoom H5, which also captured the crowd noise.
