Atmospheres 19
Benthic (by Dylan Champagne) part of the Saturday Triple Bill
Dylan Champagne is an MMus student who’s piece ‘Benthic’ will be performed as part of the Saturday Triple Bill, alongside Archipelago by Jon Sims and Pride by Freddie Hill. Benthic uses an unconventional ensemble (two string quartets set up in mirror image, with two bassoons and a double bass) as a musical metaphor for the mind.
... Here’s what Dylan had to say about his involvement in this year’s festival:
“Composition is such a lone-wolf endeavour most of the time, so I’m most excited to hear what everyone has been up to. I’m also excited to share my Atmosphere’s piece, of course – which overtly explores connections between the subconscious and the conscious mind. It has been a real treat to work completely within the context of a live acoustic ensemble.”
Catch Atmospheres 19’s Saturday Triple Bill on 4 May at 7:30pm

Mae Dylan Champagne yn fyfyriwr MMus a bydd ei darn ‘Benthic’ yn cael ei berfformio fel rhan o Dair Cyngerdd Sadwrn, ochr yn ochr â Archipelago gan Jon Sims a Pride gan Freddie Hill. Mae Benthic yn defnyddio ensemble anghonfensiynol (dau bedwarawd llinynnol wedi’u gosod fel adlewyrchiad o'i gilydd, gyda dau fasŵn a dau fas dwbl) fel trosiad cerddorol o’r meddwl.
Gwelwch uchod beth oedd gan Dylan ei ddweud am ei gyfranogiad yn yr ŵyl eleni.

Atmospheres 19 Everything Else In Their World Is Solid (Philippa Anning)
Philippa Anning is a fourth year RWCMD composition student and for Atmospheres 19 she’s created ‘Everything Else In Their World Is Solid’, an audio-visual installation that explores the malleability of the forming mind.
... Here’s what Philippa had to say about her work for the festival this year: “For my final project at the College as a student, it seemed only fitting to focus my creation on biographical material; exploring VHS footage from my childhood. Not only has it been so special to look back on home videos from almost 20 years ago, but it has been a powerful learning experience, discovering what has shaped me into the young composer I am now as I embark on a professional career.
I think we often forget how we work as composers and it has been a great to immerse myself into a project which peels away the tools that I so often hide behind. 100% of the sound and film explored within the installation has been created from such a vulnerable, whole-hearted place.”
Catch Everything Else In Their World is Solid in our S4C Studio on Saturday 4 May from 11am. • Awyrgylch 19 Everything Else In Their World Is Solid (Philippa Anning)
Mae Philippa Anning yn fyfyrwraig cyfansoddi CBCDC yn ei blwyddyn olaf ac ar gyfer Awyrgylch 19 mae hi wedi creu Everything Else In Their World Is Solid, gosodiad clyweledol sy’n archwilio hydrinedd y meddwl sy’n ffurfio. Gwelwch uchod beth oedd gan Philippa i ddweud am ei gwaith i’r ŵyl eleni.
Daliwch Everything Else In Their World Is Solid yn ein Stiwdio S4C o 11am.
