David Geraghty - Komorebi Pre Order Sept 18
Live in Store performance and signing Sept 19th 1pm. Free entry, All ages. Komorebi (木漏れ日) is a poetic Japanese word that describes sunlight filtering through the canopy of trees. David’s album is one of hope that reflects on topics such as; estrangement, a humanity drunk at the wheel, the distraction of technology, a tragic life of the world’s first supermodel, a ballad of a Stuntwoman, and one St. Valentine, resorting to the use Tinder. Komorebi plays with a range of different perspectives in what feels like a rapidly changing world. Whether that is with a wry, if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry, twist, a melodramatic analogy to a Greek tragedy or a facetious plea to settle for a life of pretence. Of the album David says; “I recorded the album in my home studio ‘The Numbers Station’with some guest appearances by friends and family. While the writing and recording of the album was used to iron out some of life’s wrinkles, it also ended up being an exciting new technical process. With the assistance of the brilliantly talented engineer Luke Conlon, this album was mixed in a way that furtherequipped and informed me for future recording projects. Which was an amazingly liberating experience”. Having had a busy summer of live shows from fesSvals to headline appearances, and singles from Komorebi that have graced the naSon’s airwaves including RTE & 2FM Single of the Week with Jenny Greene. David Geraghty eagerly awaits the release of this new body of work and looks forward to sharing it with you. Composer and multi-instrumentalist David Geraghty is a founding member of Bell X1 and he continues to be a driving force behind the band. Releases have included ten albums (four No.1s), extensive world tours, as well as opening fornacts such as U2 and Ed Sheeran. Geraghty’s output also includes composing for TV & Film (which includes the short "The Crush" which was short-listed for an Oscar). Alongside this, Geraghty releases solo works. His debut, "Kill Your Darlings" (2007), was received with critical acclaim and was followed up in 2009 with the equally evocative “The Victory Dance". 2014 marked the first of two releases for Geraghty under the moniker "Join Me In The Pines" with an album of brooding dark folk called “Inherit". The release of "Monomania" in 2019 saw a startling shift to a groove-based electro sound that has flashes of Prince, Gary Numan, Bowie, Nile Rodgers with reviewers commenting: "Geraghty has proven himself a master of melody in the past, but this album confirms that he’s a crackerjack when it comes to groove and soul, too. Dismiss this as a side-project at your peril". - Lauren Murphy, The Irish Times “Throughout Monomania, there are flawless falsettos, shimmering synths and rhythms so infectious they could carry their own health warning....It’s seriously impressive.” - John Walshe, Hot Press Geraghty/JMITP has opened for acts such as David Gray and Hall & Oates at Live At The Marquee Cork and Iveagh Gardens Dublin. Since his last release, Geraghty completed an undergraduate course where he majored in composition and the study of classical piano. This saw him compose for a range of styles, which included Wind Ensemble, String Quartet and Electronica. These new musical ventures have allowed Geraghty to build on over 30 years of writing songs and creating cinematic soundscapes for screen. For the making of the new album ‘KOMOREBI’, Geraghty also added the enriching process of mixing to his writer/producer credentials. The album is an exciting development in this fresh and creative trajectory and is set for release late 2026.
