Umcheol, his\nambient meets Irish traditional music soundscape is available as a limited edition LP (500 copies worldwide)\nhoused in a 350gsm gatefold sleeve with a superb triptych of paintings by Irish artist Conor Campbell. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA splendid pairing of Irish folk instruments (harp, tin whistle, fiddle, harmonium) with synthesizers, Umcheol\ntells the tragic yet beautiful tale of two legendary figures of Irish mythology, Cú Chulainn and Ferdiad. The\n40+ minute ambient narrative is a subtle and touching alliance of past and present, tradition re-\ncontextualized and retold with a modern approach.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGareth Quinn Redmond explains: \"For the longest time, I have desired to blend elements of both ambient\nand Irish traditional music. Umcheol - Cú Chulainn agus Ferdiad, is the first in a series of works that seeks to\ncoalesce these two palettes of sound. The primary focus of this album was to begin using traditional\ninstruments such as the harp, tin whistle, fiddle and even the harmonium, which in recent times has become\ncommonly used in Irish folk music. By pairing these instruments with synthesizers, I hope to create a\nsoundscape that gives new agency for the stories of my culture\nto be realized and retold.\"\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVery personal and delicately visceral, \u003ci\u003eUmcheol \u003c\/i\u003eis a contemplative journey that will resonate with fans of\nJapanese environmental music, minimalism, folk experimentations, and mythological soundtracks. Gareth\nQuinn Redmond’s previous album, Laistigh Den Ghleo, an ode to the work of Satoshi Ashikawa is still\navailable on WRWTFWW Records - perfect time to re-visit!\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"We Release Whatever The Fuck We Want Records","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50466502672715,"sku":"2004088","price":33.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/WRWTFWW069_b962f3bb_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727315000","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/umcheol","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
