About Me


Cane 141- A Brief History
Cane 141 is the music of Mike Smalle and his many accomplices. Hailing from Galway in the west of Ireland he has written and produced 4 albums in twice as many years. He has collaborated with such musical luminaries as Mark Eitzel (American Music Club) Sean O Hagan ( The High Llamas/Microdisney/Stereolab) and Cristian Vogel of Super_collider fame. A number of radio session have also been recorded over the years, most notably a John Peel session in 2001. In 2005 the album MoonPool was nominated for best Irish album of the year in the inaugural Choice Music Awards. In 2006, cane 141 collaborated with Roisin Coyle for the “ Lost At Sea” installation which they brought to New York earlier this year. The CD of this will be released in November 07 and available from all good record shops and directly from the cane 141 websites. (www.cane141.com & www.myspace.com/cane141)

CANE 141 Lost at Sea Secret Records **** Over the past 10-odd years, Galway-based Cane 141 - effectively the dabblings of Michael Smalle, who is occasionally aided and abetted by like-minded musicians - have operated not so much under the radar as off the screen. Created specifically as a sonic accompaniment to a visual art installation (by Galway artist Roisin Coyle) for Project 06, the best compliment one can offer here is that this works very much as a stand-alone piece. The theme (and I could be adrift here) is the sheer vastness of oceans and why/how humans are, comparatively speaking, utterly insignificant. The coup de grace - which anchors the listening experience - is the use of former Royal Navy officer, Commander Bill King, who tells salutary and salty sea stories as the music ebbs and flows around his words. The best record of its type this year? Aye, aye, Cap'n. www.cane141.com Tony Clayton-Lea- The Irish Times : The Ticket
