Caoimhín makes music on a 10-string fiddle called the hardanger d’amore , and travels the world as a solo musician, in duos with Dan Trueman, Mick O’Brien and Brendan Begley, and as a member of The Gloaming and This is How we Fly. He also uses live processing on stage, sending the sound of his fiddle through code he writes in a programming language called ChucK.
Caoimhín has performed on some of the most beautiful stages in the world, including the Sydney Opera House, the Royal Albert Hall and Carnegie Hall, although some of his favourite performances have been much more intimate and ephemeral events. There are seventeen recordings to his name so far, ranging from quite traditional to fairly out there. Caoimhín enjoys both equally, playing the old music that he loves, and exploring the region where traditional music begins to disintegrate.
