Televiper This is astonishing— a massive compositional leap forward for Hilyard. Ambient music tuned to the deepest emotional resonance. Favorite track: fragile wraith.

Alexei Rojinski Hilyard is a wonderful composer. Creative, imaginative, deep... His music take me to a place i feel safe... I love this album. Favorite track: windows (sleep mix).
Asperitas

Asperitas I have been listening to Brian's music for many years and I can say that he has made a lot of progress in sound. This foggy Silent Hillish sound, decorated with a soft hiss of white noise, is impossible to confuse with anything. This is exactly the case when you get goosebumps from the first minutes of listening. I already know that this album will be on repeat hundreds of times. Favorite track: fragile wraith.

Matthew Sasso every night i play a select few tracks of Hilyard's to aid sleep. Pillars and Woodland Hush from this album are absolutely perfect ambient pieces. Favorite track: pillars (sleep mix).

about

“A wake in shadows” is a funerary dirge for the lost and an implement of catharsis for the here and now. A warm embrace for cold nights when loneliness scrapes at the frozen windowpanes and shadows of ourselves dance on the periphery of the firelight. In the darkness of a hushed forest and a quiet mind, the leaves fall from whispering trees, their limbs shed bare in the frigid moonlight. In the spring the roots will feed on the past and sing bittersweet life into the canopy with a long sigh of ephemeral recompense.


This album isn’t meant to keep a listener sad or dwelling in trauma. But it can be difficult to relate to bright and joyful music when navigating a dark place. It’s my hope that ‘a wake in shadows’ will be a safe and pensive companion while dealing with grief or other heaviness or just a soundtrack at your hearthside.

Asleep in amber, a wake in shadows, reposed on the sorrow of firn…
