Luke Daniels - Making Waves

Over five hundred individual pieces of open source archived or sampled audio were collected from the internet by Daniels and processed, detuned, warped and layered to create the arrangements on this record. Acoustic parts were then recorded remotely by live players; continuous traditional music, yet of discreet parts to reflect the times in which we live or as folk musicians find ourselves.

Supported by a first class team of players, John Doyle and Mike McGoldrick of Transatlantic sessions and Aidan O'Rourke of Lau, Daniels has created an outstanding piece of work that combines archived performances of Scottish, Irish and American folk musicians from the last century recorded by the BBC, RTE and Alan Lomax with modern day musicians.
