This project is collaboration between two final year Music Technology and Production students Aoife Carroll and Saoirse Victory. They are both singer-songwriters who take a lot of pride in their lyric writing. Saoirse and Aoife have been collaborating since they met in 2022. This EP is the bookend of many projects worked on during their college years, and marks the start of a new journey, with more releases to come. It is comprised of four tracks, and touches on themes of love, loss, and the beauty found in the mundane.

Saoirse lends her vocals in the songs Alimerick and Shadow, as well as harmonies on You Think I’m a Witch. As a pianist, she brought dynamic melodies and chord progressions on which the vocals could find their place. Shadow is her collaboration with third year student Aidan O’Sullivan. It is thematically similar to Mae, which also delves into the subject of loss. Mae’s lyrics were written by Aoife, and she plays violin on it as well. As a trad player, having an element of violin was important to her in this project. You Think I’m a Witch was co-written with a friend Jake Flynn, who is also a fourth year student. Aoife is the voice heard on You Think I’m a Witch and Mae.

The lyrics for You Think I’m a Witch and Alimerick came out during writing sessions that were dedicated to revisiting previous works.
