Artist
Aestrid Byrne (11 August 1968 – 24 December 1998) was a composer and pianist from Galway, Ireland, as well as the lifelong partner of Tom Fahy. Byrne recorded from and made her home in Cerro Concepción, Valparaíso, Chile.
Laterna and Duff: Music for Toy Pianos were written and performed from Byrne’s room at Clinica Alemana (German Clinic of Santiago), Santiago, Chile, on 1 November 1998, on a customized Schoenhut. Because her relatively small room at Alemana could not accommodate a baby grand or upright, all recordings were made on a toy piano — it was a tool-of-circumstance, not a tool-of-choice. Byrne died one month later. Sceitses was recorded on a rare C. Lockingen upright.
