About Me


Songs for the Unsung featuring Do You Remember is available now at: www.outersounds.ie/Tara-VigilCamp-CD-Project - SONGS FOR THE UNSUNG About this space

I set up this account to generate some interest in my forthcoming album. At the moment I'm in the writing stage, and I'll be posting the rough demos here as I create them. As the album progresses, I'll post clips of the final mixes

I'll also be posting blog entries about the whole process as it unfolds. From writing to recording to mixing, I'll give you an inside view with all the blood, sweat, tears and drama that go into making an album.
About me:
I am a singer, composer, and bagpipe player. I've been involved in a few bands over the years, such as Clatterbone a Celtic Rock band, for which I primarily played bagpipes. I was breifly lead singer in the progressive metal band, Lyranthe , and I'm currently a member of Delirium Fix which is an experimental blend of many musical styles.

With this new album, I hope to pull together all of my influences into a cohesive whole, and create something unique enough to be noticed amongst the sea of music that is already out there. Above all though, I am writing this album because writing and making music is what keeps ma sane and happy!

All the best,
Tim
