Myles O'Reilly

Myles O'Reilly is an Irish musician and filmmaker known for crafting beautifully immersive, nature-infused soundscapes that blur the lines between ambient folk and introspective storytelling. Active since the early 2010s, his work often intertwines delicate acoustic instrumentation with field recordings and poetic nods to memory, geography, and quiet reflection. Recent releases like *Midland Loops for Sleepy Hedgerows* and *Together On The Slow Tide* showcase his knack for gentle, meandering compositions that evoke misty Irish landscapes and far-flung travels, while *Faoiseamh Don Anam* (meaning "Solace for the Soul" in Irish) highlights his connection to Gaelic language and meditative pacing.

Beyond music, O'Reilly has built a parallel career documenting indie artists like Lisa Hannigan and Villagers through his intimate film projects, a sensibility that carries into his atmospheric recordings. Tracks such as *My Mother Married my Father in Mount Melleray in 1937* reveal his fascination with personal histories, while works like *The Hills of Vang Vieng* mirror his globe-trotting curiosity. His output feels like a sonic scrapbook—equal parts wanderlust, nostalgia, and quiet reverence for life’s tender moments.
