Deserted Village

Seán Óg's Studio

Seán Óg

Info

Well-known for his work with ongoing village projects such as Murmansk, United Bible Studies and part of the Weapons Of Mass Destruction Arkestra horn section. Seán Óg has also released a solo album Very Little Is Weightless on the deserted village label.

Drawing on his experience as a jazz performer/composer, multi-instrumentalist Seán Óg has brought these elements to a looser, homespun arena of free-improv, chance composition and electronic soundworlds.

The structures of most of the tracks are improvised with more parts (be they clarinets, an autoharp, no-input desk or found sound) laid over them, creating a shimmering, earthy and intensely warm record

Recorded during the winter of 2003 in a basement studio in Dublin city, the album offers a strange yet inviting mixture; broken melodic snatches played off rumbling static fields, saxophone lines hovering over brittle, bouncing odd-meter grooves or the unexpected song-form of Heaven Remade.
