One of the most exciting Irish composers of his generation, Seán Clancy brings together works he wrote between 2013 and 2025 in this brand-new release. The album explores lived experience, repetition and loss through Clancy’s distinctive, deadpan aesthetic.

On Night 2, guest ensemble Scenatet perform Kaj Duncan David’s Only Birds.

Only Birds explores the tension between the artificial and the real, drawing inspiration from electronic voice technologies, new age and psychedelic aesthetics, and the sonic landscapes of video games. A concert-length journey, it frames a subtle, humorous, and deeply human meditation on the boundaries of our own humanity.

Listen to Kaj Duncan David talk about the work in this video.

📍 13 January
