Aoife Doyle's third album INFINITELY CLEAR is set to be released on Friday, April 22nd.
Irish singer/songwriter/musician Aoife Doyle has released a new animated video to accompany the title track of her anticipated third album INFINITELY CLEAR.
The breathtaking animation was created by Marc Corrigan and made with support from the Arts Council of Ireland. Since graduating from GMIT, Marc’s short films and music videos have appeared in festivals across the globe. His work has ranged from traditional paintings to experimental animated films.
"The video is a hand drawn animation with story and pacing all inspired by the music and lyrics of INFINITELY CLEAR," he explains of the new project. "Moonlight, starry night, fireworks, and a tapestry of possibilities all set the place, but it is the music that sets the tone and suggests the story that follows. It’s a dream world, a fantasy version of the world outside the window."
The animation perfectly complements the new tracks dreamy soundscape.
"I love the storyboard Marc created," Doyle says. "It begins with a moonlit room which was the initial inspiration for the song, and sets the scene for the sentiment - infinitely clear, endless possibility."
