Introduction by John O'Donohue: The visible is that which we can see. That which we cannot see, we call invisible. Great regions of our life are governed by invisible presence. No one can see time, yet it is one of the most powerful of invisible forces. Music is the one art form that changes our experience of time. We enter the deeper dimension of time where the eternal is hidden. Time is never still; it brings us to new frontiers in every moment.

The Celtic imagination was never dualistic; it experienced no separation of visible and invisible, temporal and eternal. Celtic music echoes this fluent unity.

Áine Minogue has pitcher her new album in this interim world of the threshold where these infinities meet. The vibrance, energy and mystery of their encounter is given voice in the imagination of her music. There on those subtle spiritual thresholds, the ocean beseeches the land, the light tests and blesses the dark , the exile dreams of home, echoing the inner threshold where should and mind ebb and flower into one another. This music is suffused with the powerful resonance of the great Celtic feasts __ Beltaine, Samhain, Lughnasadh and Imbolc - where the veil between visible and invisible is lifted; that gentle membrane where silence becomes audible. The great conductor Sergio Celibidache said, “we do not create music, we merely create the conditions so that she can arrive.” Áine Minogue achieves these conditions with a poise that is gentle and sure.
