Korason LIVE at the WMC

Korason are two musicians – Josh Doughty kora and Tim Short on guitar – united by their love and respect for the Manding music of West Africa. There’s nothing very new about the marriage of kora and guitar. It’s been producing wonders in West Africa for decades. But when two white Europeans from Wales decide to dedicate themselves to music inspired by the jaliya or hereditary bards of that region, drawing it away from its roots and remoulding it with a depth of engagement rarely seen outside Africa itself, then it’s time to listen and wonder at the way music travels and grows, birdlike, borderless and free.

Michal Iwanowski – Go Home Polish at Diffusion 2019

In April 2018, Iwanowski set off on a 1900 km journey, on foot, between his two homes – Wales and Poland – a British passport in one hand, a Polish one in the other. He drew a straight line on the map, got a pair of good hiking shoes, and walked out of his Cardiff flat, facing east: Wales. England. France. Belgium. Holland. Germany. Czech Republic. Poland. His goal was to ask people about home, in a journey that would take 105 days to complete.

Although Iwanowski anticipated confrontation, polemics, and awkwardness, the antagonism never really came. On the contrary, people responded to the question in a deeply personal way: human to human, rather than citizen to foreigner. Most put their hand on their chest to show him where home was. Many wanted to tag along. Few mentioned their nationality. Only one chased him away.

As the journey progressed, the Go home Polish slogan became irrelevant. However, Iwanowski decided to keep it as a title, and a symbolic axis on which this project is set, a challenge to the language that dehumanises the other. To avoid generalisation and to look at the geopolitical agenda from the perspective of each individual.

David Sinden & Kate Woodward – Altered Ego at Diffusion 2019

Altered Ego is a multi-disciplinary arts project that examines ideas of who we think we really are and how we present this to the outside world. It explores our alter egos: our notions of self-presentation in the world, differing identities for different contexts, and those ‘normal’ parts of human behaviour that are heightened in disability.

The project is predicated on the notion that we all create a sense of self and identity, and that we constantly recreate and evolve our identities in different situations. Through a series of creative interventions, this project examines the ways in which we all present our different selves with varying degrees of veracity, accuracy and even mendacity.

John Rea – Atgyfodi at Diffusion 2019

Archives are where we deposit and gather our stories, both on a personal and National level; whether on paper, Edison cylinder, shellac, vinyl, tape, film, hard drive, these are all the textures of memory, of history, culture, of belonging and identity.

Atgyfodi introduces the lost voices and recordings from the sound archives of The National Museum of History: St Fagans in the form of an immersive surround-sound installation with found and specially filmed images. These are interwoven complemented by a contemporary musical composition, returning them, and what they represent, into our collective memory. The songs and stories are ‘collaged’ with original field recordings made in the original locations of the historic buildings of the Museum, also places and people of iconic or symbolic importance such as Tower Colliery’s Tyrone O’Sullivan, and farmer Arthur Morris Roberts who witnessed the drowning of Capel Celyn as a young boy.

Atgyfodi brings to light a rich, partly hidden Welsh musical tradition: songs and stories sung and told by real people. The compositional approach was influenced by the textures and sounds of these lives; the traditional melodies, the poetry and musicality of the spoken word guiding the process.
