Deif an Iarthar (The Dolphin of the West) is an in progress site specific audio piece for Clare Island, Ireland and her ferries. Created from and featuring interviews, music, and natural recordings of Clare Island, the piece brings forward the contemporary voices of Clare as the island tackles a challenging moment of change. Beginning with a process rooted in anthropological and sociological interviews, observational fieldwork, and traditional research, the data is coded for art creation and wedded to original scoring by Clare Island musicians.
