about

Released on cassette by Ur Audio Visual in 2015.

Perhaps the most minimalistic thing I've done; mainly just autoharp and vocal, with a few sound effects and atmospherics woven in. These songs were inspired by women represented in various mythologies- namely Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Greek and Roman- or composed in response to their stories.

Compassion.

Michelle Breslin is featured on Isis in the Reeds.

about

Eiyn Sof

Not married to any genres. Playing- digging little tunnels into fantasy spaces and the mythic realm- seems to be my instinctive and overarching approach.

All are home recordings, DIY with some collaborations and incredible guests sprinkled in.

Collaborative works detailed (with links) in Recommendations section.
