What I'm into... With @trickmist Trick Mist is Cork-based artist and multi-instrumentalist Gavin Murray. His music channels traditional Irish music through an abstract prism conjuring a contemplative liminal landscape between reality and imagination. Shaped by a love of sean nós singing, experimental sound processing, colloquial absurdist lyrics and the writings of Irish mystic John Moriarty, his music forges an environment that is simultaneously familiar and transcendent. Trick Mist’s third album, A Shimmering, was released on Moot Tapes on Friday, October 9. It was written, recorded, mixed and produced by Gavin Murray at home, above Plugd Records and at Dan Walsh’s studio in Cork City between October 2023 and February 26, with the recording sessions designed to accurately mine the unconscious. Alongside this, Trick Mist released a five-part audio/visual series entitled Sub-liminal, drawing from the Irish mythological concept of ‘liminal space’ and made in collaboration with videographer Graham Patterson and field recordist Mícheál Keating. Full feature at TPOE.substack.com

Hello friends. We are exactly one week out from Trick Mist's album launch show in Pharmacia and are delighted to announce Fiona O'Connell as support on the night. Fresh off the release of her new EP 'Transit' in August, Fiona's prowess as a producer is just as evident as her songwriting abilities, with poignant lyricism backed up by undulating textures and soundscapes throughout. Make sure to grab a ticket from the link in our bio xo // Fiona O'Connell is a singer-songwriter and producer whose ethereal folk music balances upon both her intricate vocal melodies and delicate approach to songwriting. Influenced by the likes of Joshua Burnside and Billie Marten, she combines the simplicity of more traditional folk melodies with pop, ambient and electronic elements to weave a lane of her own. In 2026 she released her debut EP Transit.

Trick Mist is Cork-based artist and multi instrumentalist musician Gavin Murray. His music channels traditional Irish music through an abstract prism conjuring a contemplative liminal landscape between reality and imagination. Shaped by a love of sean-nós singing, experimental sound processing, colloquial absurdist lyrics and the writings of Irish mystic John Moriarty his music forges an environment that is simultaneously familiar and transcendent. The album ‘A Shimmering’ is out on @moot_tapes this Friday, 9th October. It emerged from a series of experiments teasing out notions of ‘abstract trad’ (digitally processing and expanding the range and function of trad-associated instruments and sean nós singing) and ‘primal electronica’ (soundscapes which reference electronica but which are made with acoustic instruments). Featuring collaborations with Dan Walsh (Fixity) and Niamh Dalton (Ana Palindrome), the album, inspired by the Irish mythological concept of ‘liminal space’, aims to subvert trad’s connection to the past instead telling cautionary tales about the future. Trick Mist plays Dali next Friday, 16th October, accompanied by Dan Walsh and Niamh Dalton. Tickets available via RA. Art by @w______ren

New Show! We are delighted to welcome Trick Mist back to Pharmacia this October 17th in support of his upcoming new album 'A Shimmering', releasing October 9th on Moot Tapes. Support tba Doors 8pm Tickets €8 + bf. Link in bio. 📷 Slide 2: Shane Byrne // Trick Mist is Cork based artist and multi instrumentalist musician Gavin Murray. His music channels traditional Irish music through an abstract prism conjuring a contemplative liminal landscape between reality and imagination. Shaped by a love of sean nós singing, experimental sound processing, colloquial absurdist lyrics and the writings of Irish mystic John Moriarty his music forges an environment that is simultaneously familiar and transcendent. The genesis of his third album and Moot Tapes debut ‘A Shimmering’ was a series of recording sessions designed to accurately mine the unconscious. ‘I wanted to create a way of documenting and archiving as many unconscious ideas as possible. I would go into my home studio in Cork routinely and record every day. When I felt there was one idea I would explore it and then stop without trying to create a song structure. The next day I would start the process from square one, moving on to a new blank recording session. I labeled all my ideas 1-30. This naming criteria was incredibly cold but it allowed me not to get emotionally attached to my ideas. I’d be able to objectively see 1 works with 12 etc when evaluating in a more critically engaged way at a later point.’ Teasing out notions of abstract trad (digitally processing and expanding the range and function of trad-associated instruments and sean nós singing) and primal electronica (soundscapes which reference electronica but which are made with acoustic instruments) provided a series of prompts for these explorations. A contemplative expansive soundscape steeped in longing emerged. Detuned tin whistles, aching flutes, primal bodhrán flourishes, reverb-dripping textured banjo and sean nós inspired primacy of voice conspired to dream up a sound with an omni-directional pull.
