"When I am pleasuring a woman, I like to hear music that is soulful, seductive and sensual. Music that is sublimely beautiful. Music that is touched by genius. My own, basically. It flatters me greatly that other people enjoy making love to my music. I like to think that I am in the room with them, observing their every lustful move. And sometimes I am." Quote by Tony Ferrino.
love music. I feel the urge to pick up my guitar or bass every time they
catch my eye. Then we engage in a seductive dance of passion. After "Dolmenecho" and "Quirke"
-the first bands I played with- split up I had some musical spare time on my hands. So I wrote songs. I recorded my work on a fostex 4 track. I joined forces with a friend of mine - Peter
Kelly (Snowblind Waltz-on the music links page) who put drums onto some of the tracks and we got to work. The beautiful
and talented Valerie Hely put down some great backing vocals on the first E.P.
Mark "Schneak" Stuart did an excellent job on the sleeves (which you can see
to the right and below).
I
produced two EPs under the name "Coil" and I posted them to the college
radio station and two or three other reputable stations. I also gave copies
to my friends and record labels in Australia. I called the first EP "First Draft", bveacuse it was my first. And there was a bit of a draft about.
The second EP titled "Voice of God" boasts three tracks heavier in style and certainly more humorous than the previous
EP. The music is influenced by a variety of artists, so many in fact that it
would be difficult to credit any of them here. Suffice to say that the music
is melodic and lively, and grungy at times.
More recently I have been recording music under the name FLOOR 14 I produced a six track cd called 'MIRPHI', which I sent to various radio stations. I have also teamed up with the excellent Aidan Hosty, and we jam as much as we can when we get the time.
While I was in Australia the illustrious Daniel Hegarty
put together a press release which I have been using since. It goes like this:
FLOOR 14 isn't a band, more of a hobby come side project that has become something a little more time consuming. Essentially it's the inventive, strange and sometimes funny ideas of Sean Breathnach. Sean has had all sorts of contact with music in the past from playing in bands to DJing, but this is something more cerebral. Musically there's no defining influences, but part comes from a taste which stretches from Nine Inch Nails to A-HA(!). "I was surprised when people who I'd played this to were telling me to pursue it further. When you're making music, you never know whether it's purely self-indulgent or something that will actually move people." "The last EP 'Voice of God' was recorded on a four track, so musically it's very simple but I wouldn't say simplistic. I had a lot of fun recording this and I think that comes across." 'Voice of God' wasn't recorded with a commercial view in mind and is only a rough outline of what FLOOR 14 is all about. As you'll probably agree, this music won't be a remedy for everyone's musical ills, but it offers yet another alternative to an expanding eclectic range.
