It is said that ‘Samhain’ is a time when the veil between the living and the dead is at its thinnest, where the earthly world of the living becomes entangled with the world of the dead… We are one with our ancestors and all who have passed, from solas an lae, night through ‘till day.
Clare Sands & Liam Ó Maonlaí recorded this paganistic, primal, pilgrimage over 48 hours by simply pressing record and seeing where the musical expedition took them. Created by fire and candlelight, they worked through the half-light, until awoken by bird song from their trance-like journey, only to return to this world with old ghosts by their sides.
The mesmerising video, created by visual artists and twin sisters Liadain Ni Bhraonáin and Kasia Kaminska was shot in three different locations around Inistioge, Kilkenny, capturing this world and the otherworld, the darkness, and the light.
The final chapter of "Tírdhreacha & Fuaimhdreacha," this primal performance explores Ireland’s rich soundscapes and landscapes through rise and fall, dusk and the dawn, navigating through uncharted territories where Irish and English languages, Traditional, Folk, and Contemporary music meet.

LYRICS
TEACHT AN FHÓMHAIR (autumn’s arrival)
Titim agus fás
Ní bás ach athfhás
Fuinneamh i ngach leoithne (Leoithne)
(Solas)
I see through the eyes of my mother
I feel through the hands of my father
(Solas)
Hear my song, dusk cries for dawn
Seconds away from dying (Leoithne)
Hear my call, roots rise and fall
Seconds away ....
Seod é mo chuid
Bí ag gluaiseacht
Seo an saol
Tríd mo shúile
Seod é mo chuid
Bí ag gluaiseacht
Seo an saol
Tríd mo shúile
Seo an saol
Tríd mo shúile
Seo an saol x3
Tríd mo shúile
Seo an saol x3
Tríd mo shúile
Seconds away from
seconds away (tríd mo shúile)
seconds away
