Description

CD

Roger Doyles new album will be released on Nyahh Records on the 13th March, entitled ‘We Who Live Under Heaven – it is a phrasefrom James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake. Through software transformations, the music freezes and in some cases fossilises some mostlyold recordings. The text for the track ‘The Clouds Are Not Inaccessible’ is from a letter written by James Joyce’s daughter Lucia in the
1930’s to her psychiatrist. Spoken by Mary Costelloe. The album consists of 8 immersive ambient tracks played solo by Roger onkeyboards in his home studio in Co Wicklow, Ireland. Roger Doyles 50 year career started in 1975 with the release of his debut albumOzzio No, a collection of Musique Concrete and audio cut ups. To date he has over 30 releases ranging from compositional work,sound art, soundtracks and opera. An early pioneer of electronica, he has often been named The Godfather of Irish Electronica. HisNew Wave/performance group Operating Theatre started up in the 80s and has enjoyed a resurgence with reissues with the pop artistCaroline Polacheck recently covering their song Spring is coming with a Strawberry in the Mouth. Operating Theatres album, RapidEye Movement was released by Steve Stapeltons United Daires label in 1980. In recent years Doyle has been reappraised by a younger generation of Irish based sound artists and composers. Much of his works is still in press and has enjoyed multiple re-issues.

We Who Live Under Heaven is his most recent collection of recordings.
