Gentleman, innovator and music-man. As it enters into it's 6th season, Andrew Hamilton speaks to Phil King, the man behind Other Voices.

Ask a physicist about music, and she would tell you that every piece of matter in the universe has it's own unique sound. Every single thing of substance has a particular frequency or pitch at which it is completely at home and in tune. It's a a sort of mellifluous fingerprint.
This is true for rocks, trees, even people - and when you find that exact pitch, the object shows it's appreciation with a soft and gentle vibrating. It's the science behind the music and the ultimate link between the tangible and the artistic intangible.
It is perhaps, this scientific imperative that helps create a really special room for music. For a venue like St James' Church in Dingle, the music may well be, quite literally, in the walls.

Andrew Hamilton speaks to Liscannor’s Simon O’Reilly about his new album with folk legend Luka Bloom.

It reads like a verse from an ancient sea shanty. A lonesome grey figures, salt-torn by the wind, overlooks the dark angry waters of Liscannor Bay. Lit only by moonlight, he combs the black waves, searching for something lost - something unknown.
Then all at once, the screaming wind subsides and the music of the man starts it’s forlorn call.
Now fast forward a couple of hundred year, to an evening scene at Simon O’Reilly’s small studio in Cloghane. The black sea and wild wind remain, but inside Simon plays to a mixing desk, with an Apple Mac and pro-tools.
But just like that salt-torn grey figures, he labours alone.
Tribe is a new album featuring a collection of songs written by Simon and Luka Bloom. The unusual thing about Tribe, is that the album was written without Luka and Simon ever playing together in the same room.
