BLACK EARTH CAIRN

There is a dread that never rests - a lament which lies deep in the barren rock valleys and moorlands of the Wicklow Mountains. Lost in the dark, in unrelenting wind and rain. Ian Nyquist is a Dublin based composer with roots firmly set in the world of soundtrack styled atmospherics. He explores classical composition with contemporary production all within a sound which is uniquely his own. Black Earth Cairn is a project funded by the Irish Arts Council which came from cathartic expeditions through the Wicklow Mountains near Ian’s home in Dublin.
