L.A.S.A. Presents: Trick Mist live at Pharmacia. October 17th. Support tba.

Trick Mist is Cork based artist and multi instrumentalist musician Gavin Murray, who will be touring his new album "A Shimmering".

His music channels traditional Irish music through an abstract prism conjuring a contemplative liminal landscape between reality and imagination.

Shaped by a love of sean-nós singing, experimental sound processing, colloquial absurdist lyrics and the writings of Irish mystic John Moriarty his music forges an environment that is simultaneously familiar and transcendent.

The album emerged from a series of experiments teasing out notions of 'abstract trad' (digitally processing and expanding the range and function of trad-associated instruments and sean nós singing) and 'primal electronica' (soundscapes which reference electronica but which are made with acoustic instruments). Featuring collaborations with Dan Walsh (Fixity) and Niamh Dalton (Ana Palindrome) the album, inspired by the Irish mythological concept of 'liminal space', aims to subvert trad's connection to the past instead telling cautionary tales about the future.
