An hour of eclectic new music, brought to you by Sound and Music.
As heard on Resonance FM on Friday 13 December 2024 at noon and a repeat listen on Monday 16 December 2024 at 2pm, hosted by Michael John McCarthy.
Michael John is a composer, musician & theatre-maker, originally from West Cork, currently based in Glasgow, Scotland. This mix has been gathered around the idea of an “aisling gheal”, or “bright vision”; a collection of music drawing on dreams & apparitions, the solstice and the light to come.
