Now based in upstate New York, AILÍSE (pronounced eye-leash) is a multi-instrumentalist from the west coast of Ireland whose practice honours the Irish tradition while also drawing inspiration from other diverse musical landscapes. Her work is centred around emotive vocal performance with controlled vibrato, tight melodic agility and a haunting, spellbinding tone that carries ancestral spirit from forgotten times. This proficient air of musical mysticism flows into her playing on the fiddle and low whistle, engaging and enchanting those who witness her performances. In her music, AILÍSE explores themes of self-development, historical memory and the human effort to navigate complexity and change.
