On today's episode we have an in-depth interview with the award-winning composer and musician Linda Buckley. Linda creates electronic and acoustic music across many disciplines. As a film composer, she's worked with her sister Irene on features such as Nothing Compares (The documentary of Sinéad O'Connor), and earlier this year on the stunning Pat Collins film 'That They May Face The Rising Sun'.
Her debut album 'From Ocean's Floor' was released in September 2020 going on to feature in The Guardian's top 10 folk albums of the year, while The Evening Standard called it "a masterpiece in connecting the past and future".
All the music throughout this interview is from that album, which is available to purchase on bandcamp: https://lindabuckley.bandcamp.com/album/from-oceans-floor
