Synonymous with Strength - Stephen James Smith & Elma Orkestra

Dublin poet Stephen James Smith and Derry musician Elma Orkestra are back collaborating after their work with Ryan Vail last year as Borders with ‘My Island’.

‘Synonymous with Strength’ is a new piece, commissioned by Derry’s Gasyard Wall Féile that takes inspiration from the surrounding landscape of the North of Ireland.

Watch the video by Elma Orkestra’s Eoin O’Callaghan for the collaboration above.
