Sunshowers is a particular kind of weather we often have in Ireland where it is raining but the sun is also shining. For me, this is a strange contrast, unexpected and unpredictable. It is a little surreal, but has a brightness of its own when the sun shines through. My music is about creating shapes with sound, following the movements which you find in nature, searching for beautiful combinations of sound and colour. The shimmering effervescent quality of the light is something I try to capture in music.
