Music

Some parts of the story could only be written in music.

Explore songs from the book, improvised performances, and the ambient sounds of the valley that shaped them.

Conor with guitar — a portrait from the sessions behind Soul Search

Conor Performing in Boston

Some of these recordings were born in a room with a guitar. Others belong to the valley itself — the rain, the river, the birds greeting the first light.

Listen for as long as you like. Or, if you prefer the quiet, the ambient sound toggle lets you experience the site in silence.
