Local Kilkenny artist to feature in double album launch at Set Theatre
Musicians Daithi and Tanoki will launch their new albums at Set Theatre on Friday November 25
Two unique musicians Daithi and Tanoki will launch their new albums at Set Theatre on Friday November 25.
Daithí is an Irish multi-instrumentalist producer who has an enduring fascination with capturing organic sounds and samples. His name has become synonymous with raising the bar for the live dance experience, mixing in unique elements like his signature fiddle – a symbol of his traditional Irish upbringing – alongside a chorus of talented musicians who elevate songs that have been purpose-built for a widescreen arena.
Bedded in electronica, Daithí’s sound has moved beyond a fusion of Ireland’s past and present to a world of rich texture, veering from deep house music to ambient arrangements, in the form of instrumental narratives, stunning visuals and vocally-charged supporting characters.
The result takes the listener from the undeniably personal to the universally cinematic, a deft collision of Daithí’s propensity for storytelling, his capacity to reimagine the environment around him, and the ability to open up his world to those who seek escape.
Tanoki is the electronica/trip-hop/funk/experimental genre-blending project of Paul Mahon. Born and raised in Kilkenny, Ireland, Tanoki’s music features a myriad of styles, from funky brass to ethereal piano, walking the line between celebrating the technological and fear of what it may do to human connection.
His songs blend human samples and powerful performances with rich synths and washed-out arpeggios, embodying the duality of technology’s beauty and danger. Tanoki’s work so far has gained the attention of RTÉ 2FM, KCLR 96FM and Hot Press, earning ‘Track of the Week’ for all three singles from the upcoming album. ‘File New’ is Tanoki’s debut album.
