Mochyn Daer – drone, ambient and experimental folk textures

“Riverloom is a weaving of drone, ambient and experimental folk textures, circling back to the artist’s homeland of Cymru again and again. The album moves like water, carrying fragments of dreams, gathered river stones, half-remembered melodies, inherited stories, and field recordings collected from places returned to over time. Some real and some found only in dream.

Inspired by the meeting of the mythical and the mechanical, Mochyn Daer shows us how ancient stories and songs can resonate through modern circuitry, each amplifying the other, and finding powerful new meanings in the sound. Combining ethereal bilingual vocals, clarinet, gongs, foundsound, stones, shells and bells with modular electronics to shape a powerful sonic cynefin.

You, the listener, are invited to step in and simply drift, down to the depths of Annwn, up past Bryn Celli Ddu, the heights of the Eyri and through Celtic forests. So come sit by the fire, lie back and follow the threads.”

If you listen to things on your computer, then you can download something that you can listen to, on your computer.

If you’re insane, you can buy a cassette copy and enjoy several plays before it breaks, snarls, gets caught in the gunwales.
