✨ Thank you for the incredible support around the new 𝒱𝒾𝓈𝒾𝒷𝓁𝑒 𝐿𝒾𝑔𝒽𝓉 album.
Boreal Shift is drawn from living textures, using cello and synthesizer with field recordings captured in the remote @severts_woods . The forest itself is an instrument, shaping a soundtrack for the edge of day.

Your response to Visible Light has been overwhelming. It’s been two months since our debut album has entered the world, and it means so much to see the music reaching people—thank you for listening.
To everyone who’s taken time to sit with it, sent a message, attended a show, bought a record, or shared the music: thank you.
Each kind word and radio spin feels like a gift.

So pleased and humbled to read these beautiful words about Songs for Eventide in @popmatters this morning:
“While opinions may vary on the most effective way to combine the power of music with the enormity of the outdoors, Amy McNally and Matthew Hiram have come as close to cracking the code as anyone could. This is music that breathes life, offers hope, and provides solace.”
Thank you @ingalls1969 for writing about Visible Light—it means so much to hear that our music is resonating and providing some peace and comfort during these challenging times. Link to full review in bio.

Sharing a clipping from my grandparents’ local newspaper, documenting one of my first public performances at age five. I was a shy and quirky child, and my cello became dear to me and was an important instrument of expression for me through my childhood and into my adolescence. For many years, I played my cello at home by myself.
I have been so thrilled to discover and rediscover new aspects of my instrument and of myself as an artist and composer with @matthewhiram in Visible Light, and creating Songs for Eventide has been an incredible experience for me.
This weekend, we are performing a new composition at Reforesters Laboratory in Brooklyn, weaving in environmental recordings we collected from the El Yunque rainforest in Puerto Rico in February. I am grateful for the opportunity to bring lovely music, peace, and beautiful natural sounds into the 24 channel spatial listening room.

𝒱𝒾𝓈𝒾𝒷𝓁𝑒 𝐿𝒾𝑔𝒽𝓉 will premiere a new environmental composition, “Sierra de Luquillo: A Living Soundscape,” at Reforesters Laboratory.
The work is shaped by field recordings and plant data gathered in Puerto Rico’s El Yunque Rainforest, one of the oldest forest reserves in the Western Hemisphere.
Using the living textures of the rainforest, the piece builds immersive sound environments that weave together site-specific field recordings, plant-frequency data, and analog synthesis with electroacoustic cello, brass bowls, gong, raw organic materials, and layered signal processing. The music offers a new mode of ecological connection through sound, tuned to the natural frequencies of this sacred ecosystem.
Presented in 24-channel Spatial Audio. Join us for an evening of deep listening and connection to the living world.
7:00–8:30 PM | Saturday, October 18
Reforesters Laboratory 147 Metropolitan Ave Brooklyn, NY 11249

Happy Autumn! It’s been one week since we shared our new album “Songs for Eventide” with the world, and we’re so thankful for the support and love we’ve received for the music. The work is drawn from our explorations of remote Minnesota’s spaces, and traces a path through the seasons.
Thank you to @chuckjohnsonmusic for the album mastering. Your thoughtful work helped bring this music into its final form.
Many thanks to @alisonbents for the beautiful portrait photography used in the cover art. Your great work has helped to bring this project into reality.
And most of all thank you for listening, it means so much to connect with you through this music. If you’re local, you’re invited to our upcoming performance: 7pm next Friday, Oct 3rd at @themirrorlab in Minneapolis. Should be fun, I hope to see you there!

✨ It’s here! We’re thrilled to share our debut album “Songs for Eventide”, inspired by solar rhythms, leaf-fall patterns, and the hidden language of trees.
The music grew from our explorations of the Minnesota wilderness, blending field recordings with cello, wooden flutes, Moog synthesizer, and stereo-signal processing. The result is a mix of electro-acoustic, chamber ambient, and environmental soundscapes. Mastered by Chuck Johnson, the album arrives just in time for the Autumn Equinox.
Alongside LP and CD editions, we’ve created a special companion: hand-poured Eventide Listening Candles. Find them now on Bandcamp (links upstairs) and follow Visible Light on your favorite streaming service.
Thanks for listening, we’re so happy to share this new music with you. If you’re nearby, join us at @themirrorlab on October 3rd, opening for Jon Mueller and Tom Lecky. We’d love to see you there!
