Somadrone sound is a lush minimalism, a sonic trip, soundtracks for early light.
Somadrone live at Electric Picnic 2011
Beginning in 1998, with a focus on electronic pop and experimental music, each album evolves with a change tone, instruments that help bring about new directions: the 1999 EP Lets Depart was a first trail, slow moving landscapes made on 4-track and cheap keyboards in a haunted house. Fuzzing Away To A Whisper (2005) used vibraphone, harp, theremin, indian drone machines to achieve a disembodied electronica. In 2007’s Of Pattern and Purpose analogue synthesizers helped evolve the sound to a more anchored, textured and slow- motioned pace. 2010’s Depth of Field (Skinny Wolves Records), recorded in parts in Ireland/France/Sweden/
- It is, quiet simply, gorgeous, reminiscent of Bowie’s Berlin albums – Hot Press 4/5
- Outstanding electronic pop album, file between Brian Eno and Air – Star 4/5
- Depth of Field is simply spellbinding – Evening Herald 4/5
- Transports the listener with a Howard Blake style enchantment – Sunday Tribune – 4/5
- Cuts a path between Brian Eno, Steve Reich and Ryuichi Sakamoto – Irish
- Times 4/5
- Philip Glass and Steve Reich are obvious influences here, but O’Connor is no mere copyist – Irish Independent 4/5
