Split the Sky

About Me

Split the Sky is the collaberation between Simon Irving and Johnny McIlroy. The pair began writing material in December 2006 via email between Australia and the U.K. These tracks were then developed and structured in later improvisations with Dan Cameron in March 2007. All recordings were produced and engineered by Simon Irving and Johnny McIlroy, assisted by Will Gavin and Dan Cameron in March 2007. The compositions are performed with the additional band members. The material will feature on the forthcoming double album which will be available in June 2007.
