"AWARENESS" - DEBUT ALBUM RELEASE
 

“Awareness” is inherently soothing and medicinal.  Its flowing rhythms and the gentle crescendo of Mc Guigan’s vocals create a calm that seems intrinsic to this singer’s creative vision.

BIO

Hons. BA Applied Music, MA Ethnomusicology, MA Music Therapy

Niall Mc Guigan is a musician and practicing music therapist from Castleblayney, Co.Monaghan, Ireland. Specializing in medical ethnomusicology, he has researched the topic of music & healing within shamanic & neo-shamanic traditions and also the development of therapeutic presence as a music therapist. Niall is currently working in the Netherlands as a music therapist in the area of forensic music therapy & Dementia & Alzheimers care. 

 

He has recently published an research article on the development of therapuetic presence in the peer-reviewed online journal Voices: A World Forum for Music Therapy https://voices.no/index.php/voices/article/view/2586

As a musician he has performed in a variety of bands ranging from metal, grunge, rock, traditional Irish music, funk & reggae and also at festivals such as Electric Picnic, Arcadian fields (Ireland), Glastonbury (UK), Earth Garden & The Bubble Festival (Malta), Sacred Feminine Healing Festival (Czech Republic), & Psy-fi Festival (Netherlands).

The debut album “Awareness” is a collection of songs written over a period of six years expressing experiences of travel, education and self-discovery. Similar to the idea of songlines, a term used in aboriginal culture to describe songs that create a map, each song has a distinct story, life lesson or meditation that guides attention within, towards self-discovery and connection.

The album incorporates many musical styles including reggae, folk, rock, and Khoomii (Mongolian throat singing). This is fused with a variety of cross-cultural influences ranging from South American shamanism to eastern meditation practices.

Niall has released his third album "Spiritual Anarchy". The album is a reflection of the "spiritual journey" or the unlearning of what we believe to be true. Its theme relates to the resulting breakdown of psychological belief systems, ideologies, and social and cultural conditioning through self-inquiry from a desire for authenticity and connection. 

 

The musical style is a return to Niall's rock roots, in keeping with the eclectic world music feel of his last album fusing Mongolian throat singing, reggae, folk, and alternative rock.

Music is an incredible tool which helps us to access a deeper connection with our heart, emotions & feelings. Through feeling we remember our human connection and can deepen our sense of "being".

Live Performance & Workshops

Would you like to host a house concert with Niall Mc Guigan?

A house concert is exactly as it sounds and offers an intimate, cozy musical experience between the artist and audience in ones own living room, garden or workspace.

It also offers the opportunity for a more interactive experience for the audience as the songs and feeling inspired by the album "awareness" describe a personal experience of self-discovery through storytelling, music & self-inquiry.

 

These experiential concerts can also vary in content depending on audience size and interests and can also be conducted as a workshop that includes qi gong(8 healing sounds), group voice work and self-inquiry dialogue.  

The songs themselves also inspire dialogue, questions, and conversation and direct the experience of the listener towards inner stillness and present moment awareness.

There are no additional costs to the host of these events. Donations or set fee are accepted for the artist at the end of the concert from the guests  and the opportunity to sell CD's
