His voice is unmistakably his own and his music bears distinctive creative hallmarks which have as much to do with his personality and character as with his impressive technical mastery, musical authority and exquisitely expressive playing. Colm recently performed as part of the 2016 Centenary concerts in the National Concert Hall. He performed with Paul Muldoon as part of the literary celebration and with Glen Hansard, as part of Imagining Home. He was commissioned to write a piece of music Solasta (meaning Shining) which he performed for the President of Ireland in The Irish Writers Centre. This piece was written to accompany specially written poems from six of Ireland’s leading Poets. His second album And Now The Weather has been critically acclaimed (album of the week in The Irish Times) and was recently shortlisted for the Choice Music Prize ‘album of the year’. “These are tunes that are effortlessly cinematic, conjuring images of weather‐ beaten coastlines and vast green expanses... a consistently beautiful and frequently incandescent collection” – The Irish Times (Album of the Week) On the first album The Hare’s Corner - “I was taken somewhere else. It’s just a beautiful piece of mood music. If you’re looking for an inheritor for Astral Weeks, this is it.” - Billy Bragg His work in TV, Film and Theatre has allowed him to progress and mature as an orchestrator of his own compositions. Colm is currently working on his second Movie feature soundtrack, which is due for release later this year. Against a backdrop of global war and destruction of the natural environment And Now The Weather reprises the plea of the hare for creativity and space. Somewhere in the middle of all this madness there is music and Colm Mac Con Iomaire.

Still courtesy Cartoon Saloon and Abrams Books Onward and Upward with the Arts December 21, 2020 Issue The studio’s hand-drawn movies—including its latest, “Wolfwalkers”—offer an alternative vision of what children’s entertainment can be. By Mark O’Connell December 11, 2020 n the seventeenth century, after wolves were hunted to extinction in most of the British Isles, Ireland was sometimes referred I to as Wolf-Land. The implication, perhaps, was that it needed to be tamed. In 1649, Oliver Cromwell’s New Model Army invaded Ireland on behalf of the Commonwealth of England, leading to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Irish people. The Army also appointed professional hunters to cull the country’s wolves. Cromwell’s men captured the walled city of Kilkenny, which was surrounded by forests full of wolves and was home to as many superstitions about them. One myth held that certain natives of https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/12/21/cartoon-saloon-and-the-new-golden-age-of-animation 1/9 1/20/2021 Cartoon Saloon and the New Golden Age of Animation | The New Yorker the region could transform into wolves, roaming the land while their ordinary bodies lay in a kind of trance.

  • The Anthropomorphization of Houses in Film
    The Anthropomorphization of Houses in Film Kelli M Johnson Department of Film Studies Primary Thesis Advisor Dr. Melinda Barlow, Department of Film Studies Committee Members Dr. Shira Segal, Department of Film Studies Bryan Jonas Erickson, Department of Writing and Rhetoric 4 November 2013 University of Colorado at Boulder 2 Abstract Often times in film, houses have been categorized as a part of the set design or production design. They are purposefully furnished and decorated according to the director’s vision. Filmmakers, scholars, and critics recognize the importance of the setting and its decorations. However, let us consider the possibility that a house is more than the set design; it is a character. The characterization of a house can be both literal and implied. There are the houses that come alive like, as in Monster House (Gil Kenan, 2006) and houses whose character is subtler in its presence, as in The Old Dark House (James Whale, 1932) or The Haunting (Robert Wise, 1963.) The house as a character is neither static nor flat, but dynamic and complex. In order for us to understand the complexities of the house, this thesis will explore the major foundation stones of any character in film: costuming, physicality, the mind of a character, and its personalities. Like a human being, each house has a unique characteristic and personality. To name a few of the many, a house can be a murderer, a seductress, a femme fatale, or an isolated being. Its personality is structured around the foundations. The exterior is representative of the character’s physicality.
