Gwaith Swn's Sonic Darts is a London-based sound art collective presenting new sound works, performances and discussions.

In this episode, we celebrate the launch of Dychwelyd the new album from Welsh ambient experimental drone-folk duo Peiriant. The first half of the show contains a live performance from a recent gig at The Globe in Hay on Wye. The performance contains some improvised pieces, extracts from Dychwelyd, as well as a collection of older tunes.

The second half of the show contains Dychwelyd played from start to finish. This new release from Peiriant is due 5th July 2024. A first single **Taflu Dŵr* is released this Friday 7th June.

Peiriant are a duo of violin and electric guitar, who play with melody and tonality to create atmosphere and soundscape. Electronic equipment, samples and found objects also add to their semi-improvised pieces, which are spun from grounded ideas.

Peiriant draw from their foundation in folk and classical in addition to post-rock, minimalism and sound art to weave experimental music that is anchored in the Welsh landscape. They play with layers of drone and dissonance, contrasting with songs and pure tones to give a rich and sonorous auditory experience.
