THE WOODEN SKY Premiere Live Performance Grace On A Hill Part 1 Video Online

The Wooden Sky’s third full-length, ‘Every Child A Daughter, Every Moon A Sun’ hits stores today. To complement the release the band also unveiled the first of five performance videos. Grace On A Hill Part 1 was exclusively premiered HERE.

Each video acts as an episode, weaving the performance into the narrative of a story. Director Scott Cudmore explains “I knew that I didn’t want to do the whole stripped-down performance type of thing again, and talking to Gavin [Gardiner, vocalist], the band didn’t really want to do that sort of thing again either, so we decided to go the other direction and try to make something that was very cinematic. We wanted to make a movie with a narrative. The idea was the make something episodic that would develop as it progressed and in that way the narrative context would give a different dimension to the songs-exactly like in a movie where the drama gives a different context to the song used on the soundtrack, only in this project the songs are the centerpiece and are performed live while the narrative is the backdrop instead of the other way around.”

The performances were filmed at Grace on the Hill church in Toronto. The church serves as a venue but the stunning setting also adds so much more to the film. Interview Magazine describes, “A mahogany alter and burnished tapestries give the setting a sepia tinge, enlivened by a stunningly lit performance space. The brightly lit band members are juxtaposed against the congregation members, whose glistening eyes are all that illuminates the pew area.”
