How I Became A Wave

How I Became A Wave is the solo project of Pat Carey. Formerly of Cork band The Hard Ground, the release of the debut album from How I Became A Wave in late 2025 will mark the first substantial release from Carey in 10 years and is a collaboration between Carey and a number of Ireland's finest musicians and artists.

An exploration of soundscapes, exploring links between the intimate and the infinite, the album has an eye and an ear as much on grains of sand as it does on the waves that create them.
