“Quiet In The Head” is the ongoing musical project of guitarist Sèamus Maynard, violinist Jonathan Talbott.

Their original acoustic music has evolved over many years of playing together and is always an exploration of texture and melody. There are echoes of familiar influences from eastern european music as well as jazz and classical but ultimately it searches far and wide for new sounds. Subject matter includes: swamp donkeys, theories on chocolate consumption, Chekhov’s stage works and more about swamp donkeys. Improvisation plays a large part in Quiet In The Head's compositions but the core of the music is through-composed. Instrumental technique never overshadows the inherent musicality, beauty, and sometimes strangeness of the soundscapes created by the duo.
