about

Little Landscapes - A new short track and video I quickly put together featuring numerous textures from the beach set to some Kargyraa Throat Singing Improv.

See the video here ~ www.youtube.com/watch?v=UL9JCuC9y48&t=10s

Looking up close at the jagged rocks and channels left by the sand I was just thinking of how big each of these actually felt when up close and were little landscapes all on their own.

I was experimenting with a few Irish words compiled by @manchanmagan for his Sea Tamagochi project. It has been a while since I’ve done any singing so it’s a little rough and now my throat is a little sore but it was good to dust off the cobwebs!

Some of the words used (very poorly might I add, this was all more about texture and the words served as inspiration for throat singing technique):

Storannaí - (starr-hu / starrtha) - Large jagged rocks, prominences, or projecting objects. They can be sticking up beneath the ocean or on the shore. Also means tusks, kinks, or fits of fury.

Gráinneachán (gan-akh-awn) A type of coarse sand with a lot of shell mixed through it along with small pebbly stones and some fine sand.

Iomshruth (Um-hru) - An eddy. Literally, a wave that turns on itself. A place where trout hide out.

Bristeacha (brish-te-kha) - Big foamy, strong waves that send the sea white with the rásaí (racing waves).
