ArtMusic

A section from the Atgyfodi project featuring local field recordings from Tryweryn Valley, and an interview with local farmer Arthur Morris Roberts, who witnessed Capel Celyn being drowned as a young boy.

Atgyfodi combines live performance, film and sonic installation inspired by the sound and image archives of St Fagans National Museum of History. The work features the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, and Patrick Rimes and Cass Meurig on traditional Welsh instruments.

It was performed, alongside site-specific sound installations, in the Museum on October the 19th, 20th and 21st, 2018, also as part of Ffotogallery’s Sight & Sound themed Diffusion and Green Man Festivals in 2019.

The original version is an immersive work, mixed in 5.1 surround.
