@hearoneofficial Aoibhín part 9 I think the Irish music scene is definitely improving, people like us you know, we have no connections whatsoever we just went to every open mic session possible in the Dublin area. We’ve had to travel as well, we went to Sligo for a gig, we went to Cork for a gig, you just need to put yourself out there I think if you work hard it will be rewarded. People ask me a lot where we get these gigs and the thing is there’s loads of places up there, you just call them and say “can we play” there’s an amazing amount of sessions that we’ve played at this point, like circle sessional and stuff and they’re great. I think there’s gonna be a lot of artists coming out of these and getting onto a more of an international stage because they’re like an incubator for musicians. I also think the sessions are important because you meet other people in the same situation, I suppose you can’t really expect to just start playing gigs you need to work your way up to it. We play a lot of gigs now around Dublin now and in venues like Whelans and Fibber McGee’s, and we’ve had nothing but support since day one really so you definitely need to get out there.

@hearoneofficial Aoibhín part 8 For me I study maths in UCD I’m in second year so it keeps me busy and music is more sort of my hobby at the moment. A lot of what I learned in music helps with the maths and visa versa. I think its great to have an outlet for your creativity when you’re studying something more technical, I feel really happy to have that balance. (at One Productions)

@hearoneofficial Aoibhín part 7 Outside of music I have my own show on radio na Life because I’m a fluent Irish speaker. Myself and Oisin have had a lot of experience sending our stuff to radio shows but with a lot of the bigger shows its really difficult to get your stuff on air. So I wanted to have my own show where people could just come in have an interview, and then we’d play their tracks for them and just help them out. (at The Merrion Shopping Centre)

@hearoneofficial Aoibhín part 6 Our EP is released in October and its called don’t "Look Down". It has five tracks on it four original and one collaboration. We recorded it in orchard recording studios in Enniscorthy. Really interesting experience to hear your songs back and try out different things as well. During the summer we also went to America and filmed loads of videos. It was a lot of fun we did some gorilla recording in a carnival and people were looking in wondering what we were doing. It was good and fun and we think the videos worked out really well. all the songs are available on itunes and spotify, and we have videos for 4 out of five of them. You can see the videos on our Facebook or you tube pages. (at Merrion Square)

@hearoneofficial Aoibhín part 5 I’m currently studying songwriting in BIM so thats been a real help. It’s encouraged me to work on my own stuff more, and try out different things. Normally I write out the lyrics and cords and the general structure, when I feel like it’s all right and presentable I show it to Oisin, and we work on the arrangement. I think for the most part I suppose, I’d be responsible for the strangeness of the music. I would encourage Aoibhín to roll with that as well I’m really picky about how I want the song to sound, so I keep going on about playing things a certain way, I know we both have the same ideas as to what we want the song to sound like so I push for that.

I saw this guy one day playing on the swings in Abu Dhabi, he was working in the bank beside the park. Its a brave soul who uses them beside the office, or a innocent one, I used to only use them in secretly, they're still fun. (at Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates)

The Acropolis in Athens is a cool place to visit, sophistocaited buildings for an ancient civilization and a shame that it got recked by the Persians. This is a shot I took coming down the steps back into Athens, the evening when the sun goes down is a the golden hour for photography. (at Acropolis of Athens)

There was a great tea house beside me called Art Teas in Abu Dhabi. They had these special tables for making the tea on with little holes to drain spilt tea. There must have been over 100 teas on the menu and the quality of the teas was better than anything I had ever had. The staff would have so much knowledge about each product you would learn a lot sitting there talking to them. (at World Trade Center Abu Dhabi)

No #hearone sessions this week so I'm posting a couple of photos I've taken in the past. This one came from Chicago where they have a giant silver jellybean in the middle of the city. I love the monument it's unique, quirky and causes people to wonder at all the distorted reflections it casts, it's a very engaging piece. I found that it reminded me of the spaceship from "Flight of the Navigator" a favorite childhood movie, I appreciated that. (at The Giant Bean Chicago)
