   About Ornaith O'Dowd
Ornaith O'Dowd is a songwriter and recording artist from Galway, Ireland and now based in Brooklyn, New York, who makes lo-fi new wave/ postpunk-inflected pop songs. In 1995, aged 17, Ornaith recorded a very lo-fi cassette album called "Blank Melodies" under the name The Craving, and formed a band of the same name who played around Galway a bit in the late 90s (which was a lot of fun as far as those involved can remember). These days, when she is not making songs, Ornaith works on her PhD in philosophy at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. Three of the tunes here are on a 2006 EP called "The Pomegranate Heart" , and "Circle" is from "Blank Melodies". "Said and Unsaid," "The Interview," "One December Day," and "Car Tapes" feature on the album "World of Gutters" (2009). For more music and information, go to ornaithodowd.blogspot.com. You can buy albums, or individual tracks, in mp3 format at soundclick.com/ornaithodowd, and you can listen to more stuff at garageband.com/ornaithodowd or lastfm.com/ornaithodowd.

Hello My Friend, and our respect for your work !!!

Welcome to our list and thank you for becoming our friend!

The helpless must be protected, and those with no voice of their own must be spoken up for. Those who prey on our children rely on silence, and it must not be allowed to continue!
So thank you for adding your voice to ours, together we will grow louder...AND WE WILL BREAK THE SILENCE!!!

Séafra and The Team :-)

Heya! Just thought I'd check in. Unfortunately, I won't be making it over to NY any time soon. Donnacha wants to premiere the piece in Dublin instead. Boo! Anyway, let me know if you're going to be back in Ireland at any point. Hope you're well and all that.
