Myles O’Reilly

For all its calming qualities, ambient music can also capture strange and uncanny life forces. Myles O’Reilly seems to understand this innately, and he puts it to mesmerising use on Music From the Threshold, an album suffused with grace and dignity, strangeness and quiet passion.

Filmed and musically scored by Myles O’Reilly, the flora and fauna of Rónán Ó Snodaigh’s poem, When Peace Broke Out In The Garden, become the central characters in an epic tale of war, negotiation, peace talks and transformation.

Filmed in CoisCéim, Dublin and directed by Myles O’Reilly, watch Niamh Bury performing ‘Budapest’, from her debut album on Claddagh Records ‘Yellow Roses’, which was produced by Brian Brían Mac Gloinn of Ye Vagabonds.

Filmed by Myles O’Reilly during Cork’s winter festival ‘Quiet Lights’, watch Jim Ghedi singing Ed Pickford’s Ah Cud Hew in St Luke’s church solo..an intimate and powerfully moving performance.

We chat with Rónán Ó Snodaigh & Myles O’Reilly about their new album, The Beautiful Road, a work of graft and craft as well as exceptional artistry: music like this isn’t just plucked out of the air; it is the result of a serious and well-defined working relationship, nurtured over a period of years.

Taken from their new album, The Beautiful Road, watch the latest video from Rónán Ó Snodaigh & Myles O’Reilly. ‘Calling All Angels’ was filmed and edited by Myles O’Reilly and features Rónán and Wexford hurler Diarmuid Lyng.

Myles O’Reilly recalls some of the magical moments experienced with Rónán Ó Snodaigh while making their new album, ‘The Beautiful Road’, at a “quaint cabin, isolated from the world’s noise…where boundaries between reality and imagination blur”.

Rónán Ó Snodaigh & Myles O’Reilly’s ‘The Beautiful Road’, is a calmative, a sonic balm in times of literal and metaphorical noise, but also a reminder of the verve and the life that can still exist in music. It’s an exceptional feat.

Taken from their second album, ‘The Beautiful Road‘, Rónán Ó Snodaigh and Myles O’Reilly share a beautiful video for their new single ‘King of the Kingdom (Rí A’Ríocht)’. Rónán says after his dance, “…it’s like a medicine”…it is.

Rónán Ó Snodaigh and Myles O’Reilly announce their second album ‘The Beautiful Road’, a soulful blend of folk, traditional, and ambient crossover, to be released via Claddagh Records on July 28th. Watch the video for their first song ‘Níl Aon Easpa Orm’, filmed in the sacred hills of Loughcrew, Co. Meath.

Amelia Baker, aka Cinder Well (our current Artist of the Month), has shared a live video for Overgrown which features on her new album ‘Cadence’. The session was captured at last year’s Quiet Lights Festival in Cork, Ireland by the magic eye of Myles O’Reilly.
