From Naas, Co. Kildare comes this capacious instrumental track from Liam Trappe. Strings peak and trough over plucked bow strings while a piano keeps time with shuffling beats. It’s hard to tell exactly how this was made; whether it was largely sampled or live instruments which serves to make the song even more ethereal.

The song reminds me a little bit of Laurie Anderson, whose first album (1981, I think) was a huge hit. In her case, she used a string instrument, a violin, and electronic stuff, plus a voice distorter.
The instrumental of this band reminds me of hers. The photo you picked matches the song perfectly.
