All year Creative Ireland and TG4 asked production companies to pitch; “to create visual poems", so they set about striving to tell visual stories with flow and expression, colour, movement, speed, angles, contrast and depth. Members of the production crew include; director, Tomek, from Poland who was getting married during production but went online to help out because he knew how special the project was,Burschi Wojnar, a multi award winning legend of a DOP (director of photography) DJ, Daithi. As a composer he is not afraid to push boundaries and that is exactly what was being sought. Wes describes the challenges faced such as having a van break down in the middle of the night, one contributor contracted covid so they had to find a replacement and ended up having to drive 5 hours that night to get to a new location, there were a few grumpy faces that evening. The end result.. a number of inserts with a balance between craft, art, diversity and location.

Liam O'Callaghan and Eddie are releasing this project which came about on the back of Emperor of Ice Cream's latest album last year. Having played with Liam in a band called 'Bulkhead,' which had some interest from record companies but disbanded because they got disillusioned by the music business, Eddie & Liam reunited 6 months ago after Liam reached out to Eddie with a song he had written and it took off from there, resulting in a 4 track EP titled Tabula Rasa which is out now. Their sound can be described as Melodic Indie pop, with catchy bass lines, distorted guitars with a blend of classic instruments. The the lead single is titled 'King of America '. It will be made available on all streaming platforms in the next couple of weeks. For now check out their music at the following places: https://www.facebook.com/ArcticLightsCork/ https://arcticlights.bandcamp.com/releases https://www.redfm.ie/news/entertainment/watch-corks-arctic-lights-release-single-king-of-america/
