Dr. Flynn used the following implements to produce the soundwaves audible on this compendium;

Nylon string and steel string acoustic guitars, capo, shakers, triangle, Carnatic taal, microphoned table top, vintage electric kettle hit with Mollard conductor's batons, field recordings of sea sounds, Antarctic winds, vintage cars and Waitomo birdsong. Pro-Tools synths (track 5), Audacity reverb.

No traditional Irish instruments were harmed in the making of these crooked concoctions.

Track 10 recorded live in concert at Absurdistan Hall, Kaiwaka, Aotearoa, 2022
Track 11 recorded in Spiddal, Ireland, 2007
Track 12 contains public domain samples of Arnold Schoenberg conducting Transfigured Night Op.4 (Berlin 1929) and Rudolf Kolisch conducting Arnold Schönberg's Suite op. 29 movement 3 (New York, 26 April 1940), courtesy of www.schoenberg.at

analysis of these crooked concoctions

Errigal Suite was commissioned by the Guitar Festival of Ireland with funds from Temple Bar Cultural Trust.

Research funding for the rest of these musical concoctions was provided by the Arts Council of Ireland through a traditional arts bursary.

Visual elements of this curious compendium were created by Lady Cecilia Walshe, formerly of high standing in society until she was wed to Dr. Flynn, upon which her reputation deteriorated considerably.

"B"

Absolutely love that deep concertina sound. And the range of expression that Cormac brings out through this instrument, well beyond the intentions of the designers or makers of these instruments. And, feel sorry for his poor bellows and reeds. He has to do a lot of personal repair on them. Cormac's album design and presentation are beautiful works of art as well. See him in concert if you can. You can really feel those bass notes resonate through a hall. balinsky
