FlounderLing is the alter ego of Cliodhna Quinlan who makes nice music for GreenBirdFlying and saves all the weird stuff for her solo exploration into sound and words.
She works with words mostly from poetry and prose and uses them as a starting point for a reimagining and a reworking. The words themselves, the inherent rhythm and imagery suggest a direction and she builds soundscapes and music around the framework of the poem. She starts with recorded sounds from her world around her, (a squeaky gate, an old out of tune harp, the buzz of a loose guitar string, bird song, water, engines etc etc)and she manipulates these sounds to create happy accidents of rhythm and harmony that she works and moulds to create a new piece.
