n the autumn of 2022, ROME\u2019s Jerome Reuter made another trip to the Emerald Isle to spend a few weeks among friends in Ireland. As was to be expected, porters and laughs were had, songs were written and at the end of the journey, another stout-fueled \u2018Dublin Session\u2019 comprised of all-new and gripping folk compositions had seen the light of day.<\/p>\n
In order to give the tracks the trademark Irish spit and grit, co-Producing long-time friend and musical collaborator Brian Brody (Rack & Ruin) recruited renowned fellow travellers and local talents such as Ronan O Snodaigh (Dead Can Dance, K\u00edla) on bodhran; Eoin O Cionnaith on uilleann pipes (Van Morrison, Christy Moore); Matthew Hanaphy on banjo and tin whistles; Goshia Gasior on violin; Andy Slowey on bass.<\/p>\n
Whereas the tracks of the first session were cut in Dublin\u2019s legendary Sonic Studio, this second one was held in rural Ireland, at Brian Brody\u2019s Ballycale Studio, county Wexford. The songs on \u2018The Dublin Session II\u2019 are all completely new and unreleased songs that combine Irish traditional folk music with ROME\u2019s contemporary proto-folk. Among the compositions are songs like the catchy, almost danceable \u2018Hold the Line\u2019 and the tongue-in-cheek \u2018The Tsarist Army\u2019, which set a counterpoint to more melancholic compositions like \u2018My White Rose\u2019 and \u2018Muse of Fire\u2019. Much like the first Dublin Session, this second one boasts a multitude of European tongues: French on \u2018La Peau Derni\u00e8re\u2019, German on \u2018An der Landwehr\u2019, but most notably Brian Brody\u2019s and Ronan O Snodaigh\u2019s Gaelic spoken words on tracks like \u2018Deoch an Dorais\u2019 and \u2018Eirigh Anois!\u2019.<\/p>\n
All of this to show that, in ROME, the European spirit is alive and well.
