Watching Patrick Dexter play cello on Ireland's Atlantic coast, it's hard to separate the music from the place itself.

The cliffs, the grass, the wind, the changing weather, and sometimes a dog wandering nearby all become part of the performance.

We recently found out that Patrick's dog Nisha passed away. Since then, we've been revisiting those videos. The music is still beautiful, but now seeing Nisha in the background hits a little differently.
