Byrfyfyr - mis Mawrth - Peiriant gyda Osgled

Very pleased to welcome back Peiriant with their unique approach to combining the atavistic yet fresh Welsh melodies with sounscapes evoking the joy of the landscape
The Guardian writes ... "The atmospheric duo of violinist Rose and sound artist Dan Linn-Pearl... explore the idea of going back to a source in sound, marrying folk textures and techniques with shimmery, modulated guitars and post-rock drones.

Living in the mountainous Bannau Brycheiniog, through which the rivers Wye and Usk flow, Peiriant make music that is anchored to that landscape, revelling in its drama and delicacy, frills and fissures. Opener Taflu Dŵr (Throwing Water) begins with Rose hacking at her strings before her notes build to a cascade, her violin bursts sounding like the sprays of a river careering into the sea. Then come her folk-evoking fiddle melodies, giving a human dimension to tracks such as Carreg (Stone) and Llethr (Slope). They scrape and fight in the former against Dan’s subaquatic pulses, conveying a mighty power. In the latter, they soar blissfully above subtler, iridescent electronics, suggesting a kite in gentle flight."

Joining Peiriant is Osgled (Bethan Ruth). Drawing on a rich blend of experimental sounds, Osgled combines ethereal, atmospheric layers with poignant, melancholy synths, all woven together with Bethan’s dreamy and evocative vocals. The result is a soundscape that feels both otherworldly and deeply emotional, transporting listeners into a space of reflection and feeling.
