Naomi Berrill is an Irish cellist, multi-instrumentalist, composer, singer-songwriter. After completing her classical studies in Scotland, Switzerland and Italy, she began experimenting the cello as an accompanying instrument to the voice, composing and arranging new pieces that also leave room for improvisation. Her performances and collaborations span different genres and artistic disciplines, such as video art, literature and dance, as well, of course, as classical and jazz music.
Inish – which marks the beginning of Berrill’s collaboration with guitarist, vocalist and producer Lorenzo Pellegrini and with drummer, percussionist and cellistAndrea Beninati – narrates everyday life on the islands of Inishshark and Inishbofin, off the west coast of Ireland. As the trio masterfully blends the intense quality of its acoustic instruments with the evocative effects of live electronics, its music elicits images that not only call forth the beauty of the immutable islands, but also the harsh existence of the islands’ fishing communities. A musical narrative enhanced by the lyrics that put into words moments of beauty, courage, adventure, euphoria and light, interwoven with other moments of loneliness, danger at sea, hardship, loss and pain – extremes that are all part of the islands’ entity.
