BBC Radio 4 - Can yr Adar - Song of the Birds

Musicians Kizzy Crawford and Gwilym Simcock carry us to the Celtic rainforest of mid Wales

Singer-songwriter Kizzy Crawford and composer Gwilym Simcock describe how they wove words and music out of the landscape and wildlife of Carngafallt nature reserve in mid Wales.

Singer-songwriter Kizzy Crawford returns to the RSPB nature reserve at Carngafallt in Mid Wales, where she was inspired to create "Can Yr Adar - Birdsong" with pianist and composer, Gwilym Simcock, and members of Sinfonia Cymru. Kizzy and Gwilym share how they wove music out of the landscape and wildlife she found at Wales's own 'Celtic rainforest', and they open a window on the hidden processes of creation, collaboration and communication that gave birth to a brand new work of art.
