“WHEN I LISTEN to drones, I listen with all my being,” says Hilary Woods, as she considers her voyage into esoteric waters. “It moves through me, but it also provides an anchor.”
Indeed, this is a musical form that, for Woods, “stretches and reaches back in time” while “moving and being moved by tectonic plates in sound”.
Hilary Woods’s journey into sound and music has been continuing on and off for almost 25 years. Born and raised in Dublin, she joined indie rockers JJ72 in 1996, but left the band seven years later and quit the music industry to concentrate on raising a family and resuming her academic studies.
