… a way to leave the world behind, and go on a journey to another place, and I hope my music guides you to some wonderful new worlds! Come along with me and we’ll head someplace relaxing, but also inspiring, uplifting, and energizing.
Jump aboard and we’ll head back to medieval times, launch ourselves into the depths of space, and head to other places both familiar and strange!
In my music, you’ll find influences as diverse as Celtic and rock, electronic and folk, with inspiration coming from artists like Mike Oldfield, Clannad, Enya, Jean-Michel Jarre, Dire Straits, Loreena Mckennit, Hawkwind, and too many more to mention.
How to pronounce Cu Sithe
I loved the name so much I had to use it… but I realized at the time, it was going to present some difficulty in terms of pronunciation! So, here’s a quick video all about it, it may be different than you expected 🙂
Symbiosis
I’ve long been fascinated by the combination of acoustic instruments and electronic, the fusion of synthesizers and guitar, and by the function of music alongside other media, such as in video games, TV, and film – and that is just what provides the driving force behind my radio show “Symbiosis” over on One World Music Radio.
If you find yourself intrigued by those topics, or are interested in the kind of music that I like to listen to and which inspires me, or if you just want to discover something new – give it a listen!
The Shadow Behind the Sun
“Once more the keyboards and electric guitar magic of Cu Sithe work their spell wonderfully, creating for us a moving opus of colour through music, and the resultant piece is like mixing Oldfield with Floyd…“
From review by Steve Sheppard (One World Music Radio)
“…worldbuilding seems to be its defining quality. It is a breathtakingly beautiful, complex, and larger-than-life album. The only limit is your imagination… an album filled with stories, interesting atmospheres, and brilliant guitar-driven melodies.“
From review by BT Fasmer (New Age Music Guide)
Time to head into the depths of space with “The Shadow Behind the Sun”! Purchasing on Bandcamp includes the related short story, the back cover artwork, and a bonus version of the album as a single 40 track (in case your media player likes to leave gaps between tracks and spoils the continuity 🙂 )
