    I can't stop listening to this album - it's both hypnotic and dynamic (and newly adding a sub-woofer to my system has added even more to the in-the-room experience, already astonishing on headphones!) As one media reviewer put it, her genius in taking the source material and respectfully making it her own is wonderful - it truly feels like a collaboration of two wonderful artists acrossI can't stop listening to this album - it's both hypnotic and dynamic (and newly adding a sub-woofer to my system has added even more to the in-the-room experience, already astonishing on headphones!) As one media reviewer put it, her genius in taking the source material and respectfully making it her own is wonderful - it truly feels like a collaboration of two wonderful artists across time.

    It's another sonically sumptuous milestone for the Northern Irish composer/producer. [May 2021, p.87]

    To use an oft-heard cliché, Fir Wave is a life-affirming album – in the broadest possible sense. It celebrates natural phenomena that exist beyond our own life spans, to be present (we hope) long after we have departed.
