This song is about someone who deals with suicidal thoughts and discusses him following through with suicide. It discusses about how his suicide would be better for everyone but in reality it isn't. Throughout the song, he gets more and more certain that his death is fate and follows through with jumping to his death. "Standing on the Edge" has a double meaning in the sense that he is on the edge because of all the things he has dealt with as well as, literally standing on the edge of a cliff with a drop that can be fatal if he jumped.

Tai Haf Heb Drigolyn's second track in their series of collage music projects draws from a different aspect of Welsh pride, on a much lighter and introspective note than the dark nihilistic satire of debut single 'Saes (Mewn Fana...)'. 'Heneb Ddiog' can be described as a soundscape which attempts to capture the rage of a country during politically turbulent times, capturing the fallout of the Tryweryn drowning and the grief period interwoven with luscious reverb guitars. Tai Haf offers a sentiment of hope at the end of the track with an epic post rock closer which hopes to move the country on to a place of progressive rebellion for unity and peace.
lyrics
Y penwythnos anfarwol dal ar ein llais
O, ein fflag falch ‘di leinio gan wenwyn y Saes
Craith, craith, craith
Adeiladu wal o ddiogelwch
I guddio’r heneb ddiog
Eu palas barus, cenfigennus o ddianc Paris
Dal i ymolchi, yn y dwr statig budr
Sy’n suddo fewn i anghofion y genedl
Craidd pydredig
Pathetig, pathetig
Y walia’n gwaedu, y clychau’n gwaeddu
Gwreiddiau yng nghrafu fy nhraed, ond troi fy nghlust i ffwrdd
Ddim i’r gorffennol mwyach, ond ymlaen i awgrym heb haent
Deunydd gwreiddiol, nid y Saes
Cyrff, heb graith
A ddwy droed ymlaen, mewn gobaith.

Released 28th February 2021

“I’ve been making recordings of the sounds of Parisian architecture. Specifically those buildings in concrete often labelled brutalist – a term many architects dislike. 

Some of these early recordings found their way into Langham Research Centre’s Tape Works (Vol. 2) album. Now for this new composition I’ve brought them together with new lockdown recordings from beyond Paris’s Péripherique – the dual carriageway that contains the historic city.

These new town centres were built in the 60s and 70s. The communist suburbs – les banlieues rouges – made social housing their first priority and commissioned daring new buildings, like Renée Gailhoustet and Jean Renaudie’s work at Ivry-sur-Seine.

As a non-sequential guide I used the Brutalist Map of Paris, published by Blue Crow Media in 2017. Some of these buildings look utopian to me, suggesting different ways we could make spaces for our communities. They also suggest different textures and acoustics, and immediately got me thinking about describing the spaces through music and sound design.

“Concrete Paris” is also a radiophonic feature for BBC Radio 3's Between The Ears programme, featuring some of the architects of the buildings alongside the people who live there. This speechless version features just the sounds of the buildings themselves.”

Nos da Tanwen.
''My name is Tanwen. I live in a tiny rural village in Mid Wales.
I'm a touch autistic.
I like Cosplay lots.
I started making music with my little brothers X-BOX about a year ago.
My friends jumped about to them so I made a few CD's an sold them in school.
I really have no idea how to get anything on Spotify or Radio or anything and I'm not really sure if the music I make is worth money so I'll leave them on here, maybe someone will sing on some or pass them on?
I didn't take media or music in school and live miles from any clubs but I'd like to play in a club or bar. I don't know how to make videos to go with the music either sorry, so if anyone can do one for Youtube that would be buzzin'
My CD was called 'Land Of My Scartlead' as the DVD player in the lounge always fell out ruining films haha
I also sell retro looking beadys like Gameboy ones I give the money to Mencap. My dog is called Alice (Its a boy, confused?)
I called my record label TAN WHEN ? which is a word play joke (Only me on it haha)
My friend say I should try for the Mercury Music Prize lol but i think I'll try a Welsh one first just in case I epic fail haha
I now signed to Recordio R-Bennig and the girls from A5 bought me a big box of Oh Polly gear! OMGOSH
