Jimmy Behan - The Echo Garden

Jimmy Behan has landscaped an accomplished sonic environment in his latest full length. Micro-ambient shards of sunlight glisten across ten sublime tracks, providing a truly engaging listen. Jimmy Behan is an Irish musician/composer working with acoustic and electronic sounds, computer processing and field recordings. After featuring on a number of Irish compilations, he released his first EP on Kin Recordings in 2001 followed by a split 7” on Road Relish. The debut album ‘Days Are What We Live In’ was released on Elusive Recordings in 2004. He released ‘In The Sudden Distance’ EP on Zymogen in June 2008 which was followed by the ‘Remixes’ compilation in November 2008. Awarded an M.Phil in Music and Media Technologies from Trinity College, Dublin in 2006, where he studied under Irish composers Roger Doyle and Donnacha Dennehy, he also records as Glissen with Kate McKeon. ‘The Echo Garden’ is set in an acoustic environment suggesting rarefied light, shimmering details, and a micro-cosmos of activity, showcasing the latest development in Jimmy’s beautiful aesthetic presence. He excels in the manipulation of tiny grains of audio, processed and arranged into a serene microambience. Shards of sunlight, lily pond reflections and the warm gentle breeze of existence submerge the listener in a truly engaging experience.
