Between two rivers: a journey into the mind of the land/Rhwng dwy afon: Taith i feddwl y tir
Sunday, 20 September⋅8:00 – 9:00pm
“Between two rivers: a journey into the mind of the land/Rhwng dwy afon: Taith i feddwl y tir” is a radio artwork in English and Welsh, realised close to the sources of the rivers Severn and Wye, in Ceredigion, Wales.
These give this area a unique character which is reflected in terms of linguistic diversity, with dramatic and imaginative extrapolations and quasi-mythic content. Moving between the palpably real and the clearly ideal, this broadcast combines interviews with local inhabitants, dramatic monologue, new music and field recordings.
It’s made by Ed Baxter (Resonance Radio Orchestra; Statue of Liberty Big Band; BASCA Composer of the Year 2013 etc); Steffan Cennydd (Theatr Cymru’s “Romeo a Juliet” 2025; Criminal Record; Gwledd; Craith; Yr Amgueddfa etc); Richard James (Evolution of Beauty; Hotel Et Al; Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci etc); and Michael Umney (Gold Award Winner, New York Festivals Radio Awards 2025; Winner, URTI Radio Grand Prix 2024 etc).
It features Dan Craig, Sandy Craig, Neil Haymer, Dewi Roberts and members of Tai Haf Heb Drigolyn.
