On Bloomsday, enjoy the words of James Joyce from Ulysses, set to music by Sonny Condell (Scullion), plus, watch a specially commissioned film by Myles O’Reilly (Arbutus Yarns).
June 16, is Bloomsday, an annual celebration dedicated to Leopold Bloom, the “every man” hero in James Joyce’s 1922 experimental novel Ulysses. To provide a soundtrack for the weekend’s activities, we asked Derek Pyle to highlight some Joyce-inspired music for our readers.
“We gathered a host of musicians and writers, artists and scholars, weirdos and generally adventurous people to set the James Joyce’s bizarre novel, Finnegans Wake, to music.” We talk to Derek Pyle, the Project Director and give you a unique first listen of several tracks from the new release.
