Ambient music from Seamus O’Muineachain

From the small coastal town of Belmullet in Ireland hails musician Seamus O’Muineachain, the multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer. Using a blend of piano, synthesisers and guitars, he crafts ethereal and otherworldly atmospheres, full of textures and minimalist constructions.

With a style akin to ambient music pioneer Brian Eno, Seamus O’Muineachain’s music has been well-received with listeners all over the world, gaining him radio support in Ireland and the UK as well as far flung locations such as Australia, Japan and across the Atlantic in the USA.

Now he brings us his fifth full-length release with the new album Different Time Zones. As ever, his inspiration is the beauty of his surroundings, drawing on the natural landscapes of rural Ireland to provide his muse for his sonic creativity.

The instrumental album was written and recorded across two locations, between the Czech Republic and the Republic of Ireland, with the aptly titled name nodding to the differing time zones of Central European Time and Greenwich Mean Time. Weaving minimal and delicate textures, he spins a blissful ambient sound across the album of dreamlike and mesmerising compositions.

Commenting on the inspiration for the album, he shares, “Location has always been the biggest inspiration to my work. I believe our environment plays a huge part in the creative process. This album was my first produced in two locations, Czechia and Ireland.”
