Hilary Woods - Burial Rites (Official Video)
From the upcoming album Acts of Light, out on November 3, 2023 on Sacred Bones Records. Pre-save / pre-order here: https://lnk.to/ActsofLight
Music Video made by Hilary Woods.
(Made with artist’s own 16mm and 8mm hand processed film footage together with images from The National Folklore Collection UCD and archive footage from RTE Archives)
Acts of Light is a fugue composed of nine slow hypnotic dirges. Vulnerability, majesty, and candour elicited with drone, synth, noise, vocals, viola, double bass, field recordings, cello and sacred choral chant, compose its private ritual. Born out of excavations and explorations in intuition and physicality through sound which culminated in her 2021 EP Feral Hymns, Acts of Light is a disquiet personal offering to wilderness, loss, absence, mystery and love supreme. Its resonant, rich and weighted lament is both subterranean and chasmal whilst simultaneously detailed and tender, awakening hidden forms that emerge from the shadows with each listen. Textural dust and speckled light move slowly and expansively through a deeply sonic and sensory rite of passage where Woods’ moving compositions confide in us feeling to be received with the entire body.
Written, recorded, mixed and produced over a span of two years between the west coast of Ireland and Dublin, Woods recorded the choristers of the Palestrina Choir in the Procathedral Dublin together with vocalists from the Galway City Chamber Choir. Strings were recorded by Jo Berger Myhre in Oslo, whilst field recordings were recorded nomadically throughout her time spent travelling through the north west of Spain.
Of the video Woods says: “The video is comprised of 16mm and 8mm hand processed film footage together with archive material and still photographs that portray private and collective rituals as acts of light to accompany Burial Rites, a sable droning lament inspired by the keening tradition.”

A fucked up house

An unreliable narrator

Just way too much about the romantic lives of people who suck

That's not your story, that's

Hilary Woods - Where The Bough Has Broken (Official Video)
Music Video made by Hilary Woods. (made with archive footage from RTE Archives)
Of the track and video, Woods says the following: "Made from old newsreels of archive footage on film, this video muses on the beauty of community and resilience, made to a piece of music that celebrates connection and the specificity and transience of time, space, and human expression. This music video is a visual love letter to the Dublin City I grew up in, to the spirit of familial roots and the extraordinary moments in ordinary life that leave their lasting impression."
Acts of Light is a fugue comprised of nine slow hypnotic dirges. Vulnerability, majesty, and candour elicited with drone, synth, noise, vocals, viola, double bass, field recordings, cello and sacred choral chant, compose its private ritual. Born out of excavations and explorations in intuition and physicality through sound which culminated in her 2021 EP Feral Hymns, Acts of Light is a disquiet personal offering to wilderness, loss, absence, mystery and love supreme. Its resonant, rich and weighted lament is both subterranean and chasmal whilst simultaneously detailed and tender, awakening hidden forms that emerge from the shadows with each listen. Textural dust and speckled light move slowly and expansively through a deeply sonic and sensory rite of passage where Woods’ moving compositions confide in us feeling to be received with the entire body.
Written, recorded, mixed and produced over a span of two years between the west coast of Ireland and Dublin,  Woods recorded the choristers of the Palestrina Choir in the Procathedral Dublin together with vocalists from the Galway City Chamber Choir. Strings were recorded by Jo Berger Myhre in Oslo, whilst field recordings were recorded nomadically throughout her time spent travelling through the north and south of Spain.
