about

About 10 years ago, somebody, unfortunately I cannot recall who, gave me a CD of Estonian children singing ancient Estonian church music. The more I listened to this CD, the more I felt moved and stirred by it. The sounds of these Estonian voices belonged to the music before equal temperament, likewise the Irish tradition, a music that you cannot compress into a stave.
There were bells playing in the background in that album which inspired me to write the beginning of this piece.

about

Antoni O' Breskey Dublin, Ireland

“O’Breskey’s musical crossovers have an ethical imperative. He seeks to mesh the majority with the minority, the present with the past, and the vocal with the silenced, so as to “deflate the ethnocentrism of classical Western music.” For this musician, musical cultures are not defined by borders, but by historical roots that reach deeply across all areas of the globe.
