• ROGER DOYLE - 'We Who Live Under Heaven' CD

"We Who Live Under Heaven" is a phrase from James Joyce's Finnegans Wake. Through software transformations, the music freezes and in some cases fossilises some mostly old recordings. The text for the track 'The Clouds Are Not Inaccessible' is from a letter written by James Joyce's daughter Lucia in the 1930's to her psychiatrist. Spoken by Mary Costelloe. The album consists of eight immersive ambient tracks played solo by Roger Doyle on keyboards in his home studio in Co Wicklow, Ireland.

Roger Doyle's 50 year career started in 1975 with the release of his debut album "Ozzio No", a collection of Musique Concrete and audio cut ups. To date he has over 30 releases (including his project Operating Theatre on United Dairies), ranging from compositional work, sound art, sound tracks and opera. An early pioneer of electronica, he has often been named "The Godfather of Irish Electronica".
