Peter Doran – Live at The House
Creating ‘The World is Wide’ Music Video with Peter Doran, from the new album ‘Outlines’
Back in February I went to see the musical poet himself Peter Doran do his thing on stage. It was in a little venue on the Northside of Dublin, Ireland called ‘The House’.
It was a blustery wet evening so I was a little hesitant to head out, but I knew Peter is the type of person who would have gone out in the rain for me; so I literally threw caution to the wind and I jumped on the bus.
Myself and the ‘always kind’ Therese Fallon sat at a little table with one candle in the middle and had a glass of vino as we warmed up in the cosy fairy-light lit room.
The show was as expected; magical. To my surprise Peter was going to try out some of his newest songs. These would soon be recorded and turn in to his latest album ‘Outlines’ that is to be released this week on iTunes (24th of Oct 2014).
I have been a friend and a big fan of Peter since he had us along to document the recording of his last album ‘Overhead the Stars’ in Grouse Lodge Studios. I had not come across his music before then, but was hooked as soon as I heard his songs. Peter’s visual, clever use of words and his beautiful view of the world around him is enthralling.
As I sat in the warm room that night listening to his new songs, he started to play the first few chords of ‘The World is Wide‘ and I am sure I fell into a deep trance.
Peter Doran – Experiencing Fame
Haunting and intriguing, his melody and words tapped into memories that I had almost forgotten, or… were they even mine? I wasn’t sure, but I did know that I felt an enchantment falling over me. I could see the film in my mind. It is so exciting when something tug‘s at your creativity and I spoke with Peter after the set about doing the video for ‘The World is Wide‘ with him.
Little did I know that getting on that bus, on that blustery night would be the start of an 8 month magical music video adventure….
I am looking forward to the release of the music video and getting it to people’s eyes. But most of all I hope it will spread the music and ethos of the lovely Peter Doran. He is one person Ireland should be proud of.

It’s out! This is our latest music video: Big September’s new single ‘Tear It All Up’.
The band has been hard at work recently recording, gigging, messing about; and the whole time they’ve been shooting video of it all! They delivered it to us and we had a lot of fun going through the footage and seeing their antics. Then we turned the highlights into this. The single is available from iTunes, Google Play Store, CD Baby and ‘all good digital music platforms’.
The band have a big gig coming up soon in the Academy 2. You can grab yourself some tickets at ticketmaster.ie/Big-September-tickets

We’ve just put out a teaser for our upcoming music video with Big September – ‘Tear It All Up’. The single and video are out Friday. We’ve had to listen to the track a whole lot during editing and we still really like it; it’s damn catchy! The boys have been working hard over the last few months, putting in studio time, releasing a swathe of singles, playing a ton of gigs and even getting on the Late Late show. And they’ve got a big gig coming up in the Academy 2 on the 21st December.

Check out the new music video we edited for Cronin’s new single ‘Several Perceptions’. The single is doing pretty peachy on the airwaves at the minute, Phantom FM have added it to their regular playlist.
The video was shot by Brian Murphy and Mick Cronin from the band at the Arts Centre in Mullingar. We chopped it together for them and added a little spit and polish and voilà!
The track is available to purchase from various sources, and their EP ‘In Loneliness Lives Love’ is also available as a digital album and a limited edition CD. For more go to their Bandcamp page: Cronin.bandcamp.com

According to their site: Arrow in the Sky ‘are a deuce of multi-instrumentalists, Conor McCauley and Brian Murphy’. They are a talented duo, wonderful to experience at a live gig, and we’ve done a bunch of videos with them to date. In fact they are the first music act we ever worked with way back when we first started!
They came to us with some lo-fi footage of themselves recording their EP ‘Winter’s Requiem’ in Temple Lane Studios from a while back. We used it to cut a music video for them for their track ‘Sombunall’.
