Postlude 2:28
Released February 21, 2022
Debut release from Cork based composer and cellist Eimear Reidy. Eimear wrote and recorded these 8 short cello pieces during a stay at Cill Rialaig in county Kerry in the West of Ireland. A number of small stone cottages rest upon the cliff top looking out onto the Atlantic ocean below. Once a deserted famine village, Cill Rialaig now acts as an artist residency and retreat for writers and musicians. It was here where Eimear would sit down in the evenings to compose this suite for solo cello, while the wind and rain would tap at her door before falling back into the ocean.
