IN-IS: 2068

2068 is the artist’
second IN-IS album
was released in October 2020. It explores what the world will look like in fifty years. Drawing upon Sheridan’s wide range of musical experiences, from orchestral and electronic to folk-influenced global music, IN-IS shows us a much more personal style to the artist and his craft. 2068 unlocks Sheridan’s musical voice from beyond his screen work, as his modern classical sound creates an intimate backdrop for the seven featured artists he introduces to his music for the first time. Written two years ago, it’s eerily apt for the strange times in which we now find ourselves. Irish folk singer Ailbhe Reddy wrote the lyrics and performs 2068’s first single �
Daydream
��, with Tom Adams, Ává Bowers, Johny Satellitesister, David Gledhill, Haula, and Alev Lenz collaborating with Sheridan on other tracks. Sheridan Tongue says: “2068 is a very personal project, borne out of my desire as an artist to explore what the world would look like many years from now. Back in 2018, I felt that we were living through such a period of intense growth with all the rapid advances in technology, whilst also becoming painfully aware of the effect our modern lifestyles were having on our planet and our wellbeing.” Sheridan’s whole approach with 2068 is unconventional, writing his music first with the lyrics inspired by the individual singers and then woven into the tracks, almost like another instrument designed to elevate each piece.
