about

Tuam Na Farraige is a collaboration between five musicians, producers, writers and visual artists as Metaxu.


We are wandering the roads less traveled where peripheral sonic and visual experiences, fragments of modernity and tradition merge or diverge. This electronic and folk music soundscape represents a journey through waking life and the realm of dreams. There are moments of hyper vigilance and focus, hedonism, abandon, rising epiphany and quiet reverie. Blending compositions, field recordings, live gig performances, traditional fiddle tunes and spoken word we unearth common ground after solitary meanderings. Streams of consciousness flow creating a sonically expansive and spacious pool where melodies and words rise to pass. The title, Tuam Na Farraige, is borrowed from a tune composed by 19th century fiddle player John Mhósaí McGinley of Glencolmcille. It’s a beautiful descriptive piece where music surfaces in response to the sound of the Atlantic and finds expression in the first awake moment.


Tuam Na Farraige was produced as part of Liliane Puthod’s exhibition Beep Beep commissioned by Temple Bar Gallery and Studios off-site at Dublin Port and supported by the Arts Council of Ireland Project Award.
