3 Triúr (In Search of Musical Form) is a documentary on the ongoing collaboration
between three of Ireland’s most distinguished musicians – Peadar Ó Riada, Martin Hayes &
Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh – in an intimate portrait of ‘the act and art of making music.’
It’s rare for musicians of this calibre to allow a filmmaker such extensive access to the
intimate, private, often painful creative process, but that’s exactly what they’ve agreed to
do for this documentary: an incredible opportunity to view the tradition from three unique
perspectives and generations. The musicality of the documentary is complemented by an
intimate, personal dimension, given the close bonds that have have grown steadily
between the three as they swap stories, thoughts, ideas and tunes in a swirling exploration
of the creative process that journeys to the ‘heart of our music’.
