The Irish author and broadcaster Manchan Magan, who died in 2025, left behind a final work: a spoken word project titled "Sli Na Samhlaiochta The Way Of Imagination". The label Claddagh (Decca) is releasing it on LP on October 5, 2026. Simon O'Reilly served as musical director, composing new, often atmospheric arrangements for Magan's recorded texts, and realized them together with Myles O'Reilly. The sound is built from narrative passages combined with dense soundscapes: the music leaves room for visual imagery and gently supports the narrative thread of the speech.

A large circle of Irish musicians took part: members of Crash Ensemble, singer Lisa O'Neill, Liam Ó Maonlaí, Colm Mac Con Iomaire and Davy Spillane. Beyond the record, a visual component is planned to link live concert performances with the album version. The release is timed to the day of the concert premiere at the National Concert Hall in Dublin. The LP marks the culmination of a long collaboration between the storyteller and the musicians, uniting text, composition and performance in a single whole.
