Stephen Shannon is an independent producer/musician based in Dublin, Ireland.
He is a member of post rock/electronic act Halfset who are currently completing their second studio album in the depths of a Dublin studio. It is due for release later this year.
Recently, Steve has been busy working on various soundtracks for independent films. Productions include "Skin Deep" (MINT), "Fight Or Flight" (Good Dog Films) and currently - "Saviours" (Street Films).
Compositionally, Steve is predominantly interested in combining electronic influences with classical instruments such as vibraphones, strings and harp to name a few.
In 2006, Steve set up a recording studio - Experimental Audio - a purpose-built space to be creative and focus on various projects including many of the more eclectic bands and artists in Ireland at present.
The songs here are selected electronic works from late last year, some of which have been used in documentaries and film productions. The song selection will be updated shortly to feature more recent work.
New free Herv digital album out now on Cock Rock Disco!
Hi there,
Just a quick note to let you know that I have a new free digital release out now on Cock Rock Disco if you would like to take a listen.
Heres what label owner Jason Forrest / Dj Donna Summer had to say!
Herv: "Not figuratively, but literally in love with Music..."
"Ireland's sexiest laptopper lands his latest mini-album on Cock Rock Disco! "Not figuratively, but literally in love with Music..." is a rave inspired experimental break-acid-core thrill ride of endless ideas and possibilities. Herv packs a lot into the 8 tracks; melodies evolve and twist, beats fracture and congeal and synths collide! It's exciting! But that's not all, it comes with 2 cd designs and a freakin A0 sized poster! Whoa! Can't beat the value in that!"
Alien Hand's debut release serves up seven salubrious slices of Celtic mashcore mayhem guaranteed to enchant young and old alike! Available now from Digital Vomit Records.
A
4 track EP, titled Call Signs, it provides the perfect introduction to
the band prior to the release of their debut album, Grappling Hooks, in
early 2010.
Ground shattering 1st release on Doppelganger Records by Galaxian. 7 tracks of sublime electro inspiration. Dark atmospherics, menacing basslines and creeping grooves combine to make this a future classic.
There will be a limited guest list for this evening mail back to delayguestlist@hotmail.com with inigo kennedy in the title leaving your details and where you heard about the night.
