The delicate, often somber experimental ambient music of Rhian Sheehan draws texture from instruments spanning orchestral and international folk instruments, guitars, and various synthesizers as well as field recordings and objects like music boxes. The composer/producer made his full-length recording debut with Paradigm Shift in 2002. As he continued to release his own compositions, his scoring résumé grew to encompass films, games, television, advertising, and things like exhibits, planetarium shows, and amusement park rides. After issuing Live at the Wellington Opera House in 2015, his 2018 studio album, A Quiet Divide, was his most expansive yet, featuring over a dozen guest performers, including members of the Stroma FilmWorks Orchestra. ~ Marcy Donelson
