Ghost Voltage

In March of 2025, writer and performer Peter Murphy (aka Cursed Murphy), composer/violinist Colm Mac Con Iomaire, and Cillian and Lorcan Byrne from Basciville, convened in the National Opera House for five days to record an album entitled Ghost Voltage.

Weaving elements of memoir, folklore, sci-fi and the supernatural, the text of the piece is a prose-poem requiem for the departed, divided into six parts, illustrated by artist Mirona Mara, documented in film and photographs by Caolan Barron.

Ghost Voltage draws on traditional, classical, folk and electronic music, and will be released in digital audio form this September. The album will be available from Bandcamp for download from September 17, and on all streaming platforms except Spotify.

The album’s release is in tandem the launch of the limited edition illustrated book version, available to order through the merch section.

Ghost Voltage was made possible by a Literature Project Award from the Arts Council of Ireland.
