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.

One of my favorite albums ever and I listen to it all the time, every song is beautifully made and I admire the songwriting. Way Up on the Mountain wrenches my heart in the best possible way, the blending and passion of these singers is something genuinely special.

Love the complexity of this track and the rising and falling of the violins, and the texture. Makes me want to dance. Thank you so much for this album. I really love it, and find it really inspiring my own work on the Witchcraft Trials ❤️

Laghdú

Laghdú is an immersive fever dream of two acoustic hardingfeles. The recordings are unadulterated, sonically perfect, and presented in stereo. Each instrument swells and subsides and pushes and pulls, brushing you from all sides with intricate melodies, as if their sounds were neatly carried by unpredictable winds. It's a privilege to experience.

Keening, yearning, captivating and lovely collection of songs, the sense of close performance all the more remarkable when you learn it was made during Covid lockdown in 2020. The ballads and poems set to music on this album might be hundreds of years old, and while they do have an air of immortal, ancient tradition about them, they sound utterly current.
