Happy New Year
Wishing you a great 2022! I have a lot of new sounds which kicks off with Knott Tones my first album release with the Ligeti Quartet which was recorded in London right before the pandemic!
I wanted to personally invite you to pre-order Knott Tones which is a further evolution of my previous works for drum kit and string quartet
Malcolm Mooney, visual artist, poet and singer from Pavees Dance and CAN created the album cover in collaboration with Vincent Gleixner a 5 year old boy from Bavaria who is the son of my graphic designer.

Later in 2022, 1915 Film Productions will produce Isolation a solo drum performance piece filmed at the Dry Stone Wall Maze (rescheduled from Covid), in England’s Dalby Forest. The piece will be filmed and edited, with elements serving as inspiration for a new composition, Bartalk, that will be toured with the Ligeti Quartet in April 2022. The finale will take place on April 30 at London’s St. Giles Church, sponsored by Jazz Live at the Crypt will be multi-track recorded which includes Ligeti Quartet, Matthew Bourne - Fender Rhodes/Church Organ, Alex Ward - Clarinet/Elec. Guitar, Helen Vidovich - Flute, Sarah Gail Brand - Trombone, Sean Noonan - Drums/Compositions/Voice, Otto Willberg - Double Bass
Pavees Dance will premiere the Tan Man's Hat at the Victoriaville Festival in Canada and are working to record a new album in the summer + more!
Keep in touch and hope to hear from you!
Drummer and composer Sean Noonan has long preferred the term “Rhythmic Storyteller” to describe his audacious, genre-defiant artistry. As a modern-day sonic griot he combines the most ancient of traditions with forward-seeking experimentation; as a kind of post-modern wandering minstrel he gathers irreverent folk tales and offbeat inspirations from various cultures and translates them through his own singular worldview.
"Independence might be the ruling concept of this drummer/leader’s career. It defines a common relationship not only among his hands, feet, and voice, but between his art and almost everything else in drumland". Modern Drummer Magazine
