It won't be long until Ciarán Farrell is a highly sought after film composer. His debut release, Perfect State, is a collection of compositions created over the last few years, and there's ample evidence that Farrell's talent is as large as his ambition. Educated under the tutelage of John Feeley and Ennio Morricone, Farrell blends classical compositional techniques with traditional Irish influences and contemporary jazz; the variation of styles embodied within the five pieces on Perfect State is staggering, simultaneously playful and challenging. It only takes one listen to "Hopkins on Skellig Michael" to know that this young composer will be in high demand in years to come. Get it while it's hot.
