This episode continues the series exploring the new music of Ireland. John Schaefer sits down with Jonathan Nangle at the Contemporary Music Centre in Dublin. Nangle tells how Donnacha Dennehy influenced him to explore more experimental music, and then\\xa0shares how electronics and silence factor into his compositions. Listen to\\xa0how Nangle uses electronics to subtly augment conventional instrumentation on "Where distant city lights flicker on half-frozen ponds". Hear Nangle explain how his piece\\xa0"Then Falls by Shadow" takes the inspiration of Irish\\xa0weather to combine shuffle mode\\xa0with a choral performance. Later in the hour, John Schaefer talks to David Bremner about his own compositions and playing the pipe organ at Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin. Hear Bremner\'s piercing organ compositions "Variations upon \'the usual reason\'" and "Amhr\\xe1n na\\xa0Leabhar."
