ReleaseTipp: Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh – Music for an Elliptical Orbit / Diatribe Records
It’s not really about listening to Caoimhín playing the fiddle. It’s more about listening to Caoimhín’s fiddle. The way strings vibrate, squeak, snore, creak and murmur. Granular sound for a peaceful album. Engelram
