In this episode I talk to the award winning guitarist Steve Cooney about his experience of being initiated into an Aboriginal tribe and learning didgeridoo from the tribe elders, music as intuition and the communication that takes place between melody player and accompanist during the live music experience.

We also discuss his innovative Geometric Visualisation system for musical notation which he says is internally based on Aboriginal art. You can hear more about this system here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hapQc1rHPyU

We also hear a clip from the track Celia Connellan from Steve's album Clár Ársa Cláirsí: Tunes of the Irish Harpers for Solo Guitar and a track O'Farrell's Welcome from Steve's band Éiníní.
