Agitated Radio pilot 
agitated radio pilot is david colohan. agitated radio pilot lives in a world of no fixed centre, of a constantly fluctuating, oscillating musical orbit. An orbit ranging from tapehiss loner folk to fourtrack ambience, to orchestrally augmented suites of double albums, to the most mournful songs this side of townes.  colohan is a member of a variety of bands, holt, united bible studies magickal folk amongst others, however it is performing as agitated radio pilot, that colohan is most individual and elegaic(an elegant celeriac perhaps?)

World Winding Down is the first double cd release from Agitated Radio Pilot. It has been over two years in the making, and comprises of two 12 track suites of songs interspersed with ambient pieces. Featuring members of previous ARP line ups, it also contains contributions by Mirakil Whip, Sharron Kraus, Phosphene, Allison O'Donnell (ex Mellow Candle), Richard Moult, Maya Elliott (Current 93), Richard Skelton and many more.

This album sees ARP back in singer/songwriter mode but there are also stark instrumentals, field recordings and atmospheres woven into this album representing the more ethereal ARP.

 It's a work of spectral, cyclical luminescence - one and a half hours of desolate soundscapes and gossamer threaded heartbreak. If you can imagine Red House Painters playing with Fursaxa you'd be close to the mark. The album features a Roy Harper approved version of 'Another Day' and a host of ARP live favourites: All That Fall, World Winding Down, and Shorelines Clad in Snow. 
 
The long-time project of Midlander and Deserted Village lynchpin David Colohan, Agitated Radio Pilot is just as often a sprawling multi-piece orchestra as it is Colohan alone with only his guitar and voice. But regardless, ARP makes music of stark sadness, melancholic warmth and the sound of the forest. He's brought his personal vision of folk to just about everywhere in Ireland and has played alongside such acts as Johnny Moynihan, Charalambides, Josephine Foster, Andy Irvine, Jack Rose, Sunroof!, Fursaxa, Sharron Kraus and many others...Colohan is or has been a member of other such projects as Enclosed & Silent Order, United Bible Studies, The Driftwood Manor, The Magickal Folk Of The Faraway Tree, Cubs, Murmansk, Holt, Lost Roman Legions, Team Discovery Channel, Arkhangelsk, Townparks Foundry, Children Of The Stones, Lodern and others too shady to mention & will never let a band get in the way of a good band name.
