The title track Rush, for violin and live electronics, is a groundbreaking piece featuring the Wired Ensemble and violinist Darragh Morgan. It was premiered in 2004 at the Sonorities Festival and was subsequently shortlisted for a British Composer Award. Among the several other tracks scored for violin and electronics is Lyons’ most recent work Ballintrillick which is a series of sonic responses to poems by Tom Morgan, whose titles and content refer to an area in Sligo where he spends much of his time.

This double CD, released to celebrate the 25th anniversary of music-theatre company Operating Theatre, features music by composer Roger Doyle. The company was founded by Roger Doyle and performer Olwen Fouéré and the music on the CD celebrates the first phase of Operating Theatre, from 1981 to 1988, during which the company operated as both a theatre company, integrating music as an equal partner in the theatrical environment, and as a band releasing records.

This recording is the latest in a sequence of recordings of music by Irish composers to be released under a five-year audio publishing agreement between RTÉ and the Arts Council. Performed here by the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra, these significant orchestral works span three decades of Bodley’s career.

‘Hunshigo’ is the title track from Simon Mawhinney’s newest release of world premiere recordings, featuring Darragh Morgan on violin and Mary Dullea on piano. Also on the CD are ‘Batu’ for piano and ‘Barcode III’ for violin. Michael Finnissy notes in his introduction to this CD that Simon Mawhinney's music is characterised by "a balance of mysterious other-worldly stillness and lavish ebullience of texture".
