I am sincerely honoured and grateful to @bandcamp for choosing ‘gilded’ as one of their favourites this year.
The reception of this record is every bit as much a reflection of those who helped give it form.
Thank you to those who contributed their voices, @ionazajac, @laucanmusic and @lmacmathuna
To @room40shoots for giving this project its final breath and clarity
And to @flood_irl for giving it a home

Especially grateful to everyone who has listened to or bought this album. It’s such an overwhelming encouragement, love yis all ❤️

Each year, Fourth Best recognises an Irish record that deserves a bigger place in the end-of-year conversation. It might not be the best album of the year. But it might be the fourth. Today, what the future sounds like, and the groundswell that will take us there, plus a brief trip to Cork.

It's easy to think of electronic music either as something which is carefully placed on a grid or something which emerges from complex modular systems. This leans closer to the second, although the performance aspect of it makes it feel outside of that. Though Nyquist's attempt to build something that ties these systems to a rich cultural history of live performance isn't completely unprecedented, it is a significant achievement. In a year where I've had to reckon with the dulling effects of prompt-based generative AI works on the kind of fluency and expression that is required for brilliant music, it feels only natural to single out an album that tries to use a familiar, intuitive tool on which to centre the artistic process.

PARTHALÁN: Artist Spotlight

Ian Nyquist is a musician and sound designer based in Dublin. His work has gained cultural momentum through the recontextualisation of traditional source material within electronic production.

Described as ‘Folk futurist’ he is one of an exciting wave of artists putting a contemporary spin on Irish trad.

For this project, Ian is particularly excited by the opportunity to respond sonically to its themes of history and mythology through an episodic narrative, creating a unique aural experience for audiences to discover the work.

Catch Ian Nyquist live at Parthalán Place this Culture Night, as part of this exciting new collaboration.

📍Parthalán Place, Tallaght
🗓️ Friday 18, September 7pm
🎟️ Free event, Ticketed, Link in Bio

Presented by SoFFt Productions, NOISE Music and South Dublin County Arts Office.

Parthalán is funded by South Dublin County Council Arts Office through the South Dublin Live programme with additional programming funded by Creative Ireland South Dublin’s Project Award. by @ian_nyquist
