ROGER DOYLE - We Who Live Under Heaven CD Field Recordings Swahili and ChagaWe Who Live Under Heaven it is a phrase from James Joyce's Finnegans Wake. Through software transformations, the music freezes and in some cases fossilises some mostly old recordings. The text for the track 'The Clouds Are Not Inaccessible' is from a letter written by James Joyce's daughter Lucia in the 1930's to her psychiatrist. Spoken by Mary Costelloe. The album consists of 8 immersive ambient tracks played solo by Roger on keyboards in his home
