Sympathetic Resonance, 2024
Cassette tape, essay, score book

Pink Noise/Ool is a sonic letter to deep listeners. Made with recordings of a waterfall, these pieces explore sound from the inside out.

Sympathetic Resonance 001 is a collaborative project between Jane Deasy and Ian Maleney. Recognising the truly interdisciplinary nature of listening, SR seeks to bring together practices and artists whose work resonates across disciplines towards a sonic way of knowing and being in the world.

MOUTH OF THE SOUND    


BUY
       
MOUTH OF THE SOUND, 2022
Label: Fort Evil Fruit

Mouth of the Sound is the continuation of a compositional process working with responsive sine tones, recordings, and feedback. 

The field recording used and manipulated on the title track was made at the Slate Quarry on Valentia Island (in Irish, Beal Inse, which translates as Mouth of the Sound). The quarry is heard before it is seen, a large and resonant mouth in the earth. The piece immediately submerges the listener in saltwater turbulence and quivering electronics.

THAWING~ EP, 2021
Self-released, self-thawing 

hand-dubbed cassette 

Recorded at her studio in Dublin, Jane Deasy's EP Thawing, comprises two tracks that document her unique compositional process.

With both digital and analogue synthesis, she generates microtonal tuning systems to create intricate textures and harmonies. These minimal, harmonic structures often result from ‘sonic excavations’, revealing inaudible layers of recorded material and acoustic space.

“When I was 17 I could do anything. My emotions wwere so close to the surface. I’m finding it harder and harder to stay in touch.”
- Myrtle Gordan in John Cassavettes 1977 film Opening Night





NOTES FROM THE BATH

BUY

NOTES FROM THE BATH, 2020
Label: Fort Evil Fruit 

Notes from the Bath is a melancholic meditation on personal spaces that applies an algorithmic process to minimal material, building intricate textures and exposing hitherto inaudible layers. Beginning with an almost static drone, the hour-long piece unfolds into an increasingly intense and immersive listening experience.
