Rhwng dau Olau/ Between two lights
A collaborative performance film by Martha Orbach and Rowan O’Neill.
Filmed and edited by Jacob Whittaker, the recording documents a gathering of singers, with Teifi Valley Improvisation, at dusk in Pengelli as they orientate themselves in sound amidst the forest.
Score for an improvised vocal performance.
Consider being a bat -
if you can, listen to their call.
Listen to the forest at dusk
Listen to each other
Orientate yourself in sound.

Ystyriwch eich bod yn ystlum -
Os gallwch, gwrandewch ar eu galwad.
Gwrandewch ar y goedwig
Gwrandewch ar eich gilydd
Yn y cyfnos, cyfeiriwch eich hun trwy sain.
Created as part of an artist residency with Natur am Byth –
the Barbastelle Bat project.
