![]() On Top Of a Cloud Announces Track Placement For Irish TelevisionAn Ríl Deal is a traditional Irish dancing television show on the Irish television channel TG 4 that has been described as "Ireland's answer to [the long-running] 'Strictly Come Dancing.'" on BBC 1.
By: On Top Of a Cloud The independent, statutory Irish language television channel TG 4 [Telifis na Gaeilge] has been broadcasting in the USA since 2014 to the 40 million strong Scots-Irish- Named, Permanent Featured Artist by AudioSparx in 2016, On Top Of a Cloud Composer and Founder, Leland Thomas Faegre was delighted with the placement to TG 4's An Ríl Deal: "I wrote 'Gypsies of Galatia' on a Kawaii K3 while living in Ireland in 1986-87. For the most part unknown as the historical origin of Celtic culture, Galatia 278-25 BCE came into existence when the territory was given to the two groups of Gauls by King Nicomedes I of Bithynia. It was perhaps my most prolific period [initial tracks for 'Pipes of Peace' were recorded there] being immersed in the environment of Celtic culture and imagery. But it was not until Christmas Eve 1989 that I first digitally recorded the basic tracks which have changed very little from their original parts." In operation since 1996, AudioSparx specializes in licensing high-quality audio content to clients in film and TV production, game production, ad agencies and others needing world-class audio cues for their productions and projects. With a vast library of audio content now exceeding 780,000 tracks, AudioSparx has become the definitive site of choice for stock audio. "It is wonderful to have AudioSparx working for the placement of music from our portfolio" said Leland Faegre, Founder and President of On Top Of a Cloud, LLC who, along with his daughter, Deirdre Leah Faegre, contributes to the company's catalog of music production. TG 4 is a free-to-air channel, available across all the viewing platforms, with a strong viewer base throughout the island of Ireland. An average of 650,000 viewers a day watch TG4 in the Republic of Ireland. This daily figure exceeds 1 million people on major viewing days like Christmas Day and St. Patrick's Day. Faegre continued, "'Gypsies of Galatia' developed along the harmonic structure of the introduction of the track. The I vi ii IV chord pattern established in the introduction creates the architecture for the production, and the instrumentation was selected to reflect the cultural imagery of gypsies that I had witnessed while living in Ireland." Irish Television Channel TG 4 is looking for the next big thing in the world of Irish dancing. Irish dancers of all ages and traditions will battle it out head to head, all hoping to be declared An Ríl Deal! From step dancing to brush dancing, from Sean-nós dancing to set dancers. This is the ultimate free-for-all Irish dance competition and a celebration of all the Irish dancing traditions. https://tg4.ie/ https://www.youtube.com/ Returning to the track usage placement for An Ríl Deal on Irish Television, Faegre added: "A modal motif [played by a lap dulcimer and uilleann pipe] provides a platform that made possible a confluence of instruments that also includes medieval or Praetorius bagpipe [named after the 16th century German musicologist, Michael Praetorius], bodhran, castanets, hurdy gurdy and tambourine to musically illustrate the nomadic nature of Galatian tribal history. Violas, Violins, low whistle, drums and bass complete the palette of this production." TG 4's Irish language output is available world-wide on the TG4 Player (https://www.tg4.ie/ Surveys and audience feedback confirm that TG 4 is satisfying its core Gaeltacht and Irish language public as well as the wider national audience and a growing number of overseas viewers too. Taxi, an independent artist and repertoire (A&R) firm that acts as a casting agent to the labels and Hollywood studios, describes "Gypsies of Galatia": "The orchestral feel and form of this track brings lots of depth and fullness to the arrangement...The soundscapes are lush and crafted very nicely. The overall tone and texture is very cinematic…You're impressively all over the map as a composer…You certainly have all the skills and abilities of a first rate composer, arranger and orchestrator." An Ríl Deal's Track Usage of "Gypsies of Galatia" is expected to be from 12-02-2018 through 01-27-2019 on Ireland's TG 4 and is available from iTunes, Amazon and many other fine stores: https://itunes.apple.com/ https://www.amazon.com/ About On Top Of a Cloud On Top Of a Cloud, LLC is a KTHO Broadcast Partner, Music Publisher, Record Label and Recording facility located in Lake Tahoe.
