BIOGRAPHY
Altocirrus is the inspirational name given to music produced by Sean and Clare McCarthy.
The songs evolve as a reflection of everyday experiences. Our appreciation of the environment in which we live, interests and friends inspire and influence us in many of our tracks.
After their music was played on Harbour FM (102.3 FM) in the UK on Terry Hawke's show "Hawke Chillout Sessions" to a very positive response and also on One World Radio's show in the UK "Man of Two Worlds" hosted by Neil Fellowes Geigertek, Altocirrus decided to take it further with a view to releasing an EP and album.
Sean developed an interest in electronic music through listening to music by The Art of Noise, Ashra, Klaus Schulze, The Alan Parsons Project and Afrocelt Sound System. Other musicians such as Pat Metheny and John Martyn are also big influences.
Clare is classically trained to play both piano and violin. Her influences are Vivaldi, Bach, Tchaikovsky, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, Crowded House, Merril Bainbridge and Seal.
Altocirrus is attempting to build a distinctive sound to reflect their mood and experiences through music.
