Yr Ogof: Site Responsive Immersive Composition of Bryn Celli Ddu



Wayfaring: ‘one follows a path that one has previously traveled in the company of others, or in their footsteps..’  (Ingold, 2007, p15-16)

Yr Ogof is a site responsive composition that was created during an artist residency at Bryn Celli Ddu. It is an ethereal vocal sound works that uses movement and spatial ambience to create an otherworldly, canonic and hypnotic choral soundscape that reflects on vocal as ritual prior to the journeying to Bryn Celli Ddu. The choral works has no words and was influenced by the storytelling like encounters of Bryn Celli Ddu from archeologists and artist interpretations. In the passing on of knowledge, these encounters shaped the direction in how I could respond to the site. As a non-Welsh speaker, it was through these encounters that led me to the phrase Yr Ogof, translating from Welsh to English as The Cave. Yr Ogof is a common label often seen on maps for unexcavated sites, and at one point prior to Bryn Celli Ddu’s excavation in 1928 it was sited on OS maps as Yr Ogof. These words became the catalyst for the piece having not been to the prehistoric monument before, it was as if this was a pilgrimage and wayfaring to excavate Bryn Celli Ddu through a sonic lens.
