The compositions of m. carney are an amalgamation of his two loves – music and film. Not traditionally a classical player or even a solo pianist, he recently fell in love with minimalistic soundtracks accompanying emotive filmic scenes. Composers such as Yann Tiersen, Phillip Glass and Michel Legrand were a discovery of new musical disciplines with strong appeal.
The majority of m carney’s composing occurred following his trip to France - May 2007. The impression of this country and its capital city was of influence to the pensive, reflective nature of the pieces.
m. carney also plays keyboard for singer/songwriters Mike McCarthy, Sarah Humphreys, PJ Wolf and Hadyn French. He is a member of Soultraders, 5 Lands Experience and Shipwright. He just finished a recording of compositions to the poems of Cameron M. Semmens. Due to be released in September.
