It took two albums of ambient post-rock for Irish musician and visual artist Hilary Woods to completely abandon the song format. Her third, »Acts Of Light«, is a minimalist drone composition in nine parts. Woods deconstructs string samples, field recordings, cello, viola, electronic manipulations and the voices of two choirs to the point of unrecognisability. From this she synthesises a powerful, rumbling stream of sound that makes your blood run cold.
