Paddy Mulcahy’s free-ranging and genre-bending hybrid of post-classical and electronica may not use words to express its feelings yet Angels Share – the Limerick composer’s first album for Sony offshoot XXIM – is a deep and moving work, inspired by loss and anxiety in a time of crisis, though the Irish composer finds a place of peace and resolution.
In the process of converging threads of electronica, classical, ambient, dance, avant-pop, chillwave and drum and bass to create a multi-dimensional work of shifting rhythm, texture, mood and impact, Angels Share also expands the Irish composer’s instrumental and studio capabilities. Mulcahy’s fusion of emotion and technique is a beautifully honed sound and vision for head and heart, body and soul.
With Angels Share, Mulcahy has turned loss and unbearable sadness into something positive and lasting; a silver lining in a turbulent world.
Paddy Mulcahy performs live at The Record Room this Friday December 9.
