Notes

Irish outsider artist Caoimhín Breathnach (1934-2009) lived as a recluse in Knockvicar, Co. Roscommon. Breathnach’s artistic practice focussed on the creation of “subliminal” tapes & films, which he believed possessed the capacity to heal & shift consciousness.

Breathnach was deeply moved by the Golden Records included on the Voyager spacecraft in 1977. He became obsessed with sending “blooms of healing sonics” into the universe, and began work on his own Golden Cassette. Because Breathnach subjected his tapes to a wide variety of physical processes - burying, burning or encasing them in moss, submerging them in water from various holy wells - most of the recordings were destroyed.

This cassette brings together the surviving recordings Breathnach planned to include on the Golden Cassette, offering a unique view into Irish outsider electronic music.
The release includes liner notes by the philosopher Timothy Morton.
