Alarm Will Sound, Alan Pierson
Land of Winter is Dennehy’s newest evening-length work, in which he explores the interplay of light and time across Ireland’s mercurial seasons of the year. It follows on from his two earlier acclaimed Nonesuch releases - 2019's The Hunger (another collaboration with Alarm Will Sound and Alan Pierson, and vocalist Iarla Ó Lionáird), and 2011's Grá agus Bás (Dawn Upshaw and Crash Ensemble, led by Alan Pierson).
"Land of Winter is typically oblique while being utterly direct – and wonderfully subtle, with a palette that combines Dennehy’s keen poetic awareness of his Irish roots with his fine, spectral ear for the physical properties of sound, and love of pulse-driven post-minimalism." - BBC Music Magazine, Christmas 2024
