Y bore ‘ma clywais i…
This morning I heard…

…a song thrush singing in an oak for over half an hour straight, from my dawn-den amongst unfurling new, green-glowing hawthorn leaves… the relentless hope of skylark as it flew low over the hill, over earth’s ice jewels which sparkled in the corners of my eye… the barks of dog and pheasant in broken conversation… a distant woodpecker drumming in the day, railway percussion of the first trains…

What did you hear this morning?
Beth glywsoch chi'r bore 'ma?

Diwrnod olaf YFORY am anfon eich mapiau sain -
TOMORROW - new moon (AND my birthday) - is the last day I am collecting submissions to my project Soundmapping Our 5 Square Miles, something I’ve been working on for lots of months now, with the support of the Arts Council of Wales’ National Lottery Fund. If you’d like sounds from your patch of land, your pum milltir sgwâr to be woven in to the story-soundscape of the piece I am developing (aiming to be shared on April 26th), then please send your sound recordings, drawings and/or words to me by the end of tomorrow: [email protected]

HENO / TONIGHT! I am excited to announce that Part 1 of my final piece for the project Soundmapping Our 5 Square Miles - developed with the fabulous mentorship of Lisa Schneidau Storyteller - will be released this Sunday 28th March at full moon. It is a short, bilingual, semi-interactive sound journey, with narrative, music and natural soundscape from around Wales. Ideally listened to at dusk - why not take it on a full moon stroll?

LISTEN HERE together at 7pm on Sunday, or anytime afterwards:
Soundcloud - Wild Notes Wales

You can either walk or sit to listen to this - if sitting, make yourself comfortable and perhaps light a candle….
Bring your journal and pens with you!

This piece serves as an introduction to the stories and performance that will follow in parts 2 and 3. To hear your soundmaps brought to life, send them to [email protected] by April 12th.

Helo Pawb!

Dyma recordiad y gweithdy 'Rhoi Sain ar Bapur' gyda Penny Tristram, fel rhan o prosiect 'Mapio Sain Ein Pum Milltir Sgwâr'.

Here is a recording of the workshop Penny Tristram and I did back in the Autumn, called 'Putting Sound on Paper', as part of 'Soundmapping Our 5 Square Miles'.

///

Yn y gweithdy hwn, mi fydd yr artist weledol Penny Tristam ac Ailsa Mair Hughes yn rhannu eu syniadau ar sut i gyfieithu y synau rydym yn clywed yn ein hamgylchedd lleol mewn i farciau a geiriau ar bapur. Yna mi fydd gennych yr offer i wneud eich mapiau sain eich hun yn eich anturiaethau personol yn y lle rydych chi'n ei alw'n gartref. Medrwch hela rhein i Ailsa I helpu ysbrydoli darn adrodd straeon cerddorol newydd.

Anfonwch eich lluniau i: [email protected] cyn y dechrau mis Mawrth.

///

It covers loads of ways of translating sound into marks on the page, and I hope that it might inspire you to take (further) part in 'Soundmapping Our 5 Square Miles'.

No artistic expertise required, just get something to draw with and something to draw on!

If you want your drawings to become part of the co-creative soundmap and the piece I am currently creating for the end of March, then please send them here before the end of this month:

Taith Gerdded Sain / Sound Walk

On Wednesday morning the dawn birds tempted me irresistibly for an early morning walk up the hill from our house in Machynlleth, pulling my coat over my dressing gown to record these beautiful sounds...

Gwrandewch yma:

https://soundcloud.com/wildnoteswales/dawn-soundwalk-machynlleth

Make your own! Either by recording your own short dawn (or other-time) walk if you have the means, or simply *really* listening as you go, and journalling what you heard/what came to you when you get home.

Head to the Wild Notes BLOG to find other ways of Soundmapping your 5 Square Miles - your contributions will help inspire a new piece I am working on, and become part of a co-craetive 'sound-map' of Wales!
