Mae David Hopewell yn gerddor, artist sain ac yn archaeolegydd sy’n byw ym Methesda, Gogledd Cymru. Ymysg ei ddiddordebau arbennig mae recordiau amgylcheddol, byrfyfyrio a pherfformio’n fyw. Mae’r trac ‘Surfaces’ yn archwilio rhan uchaf Dyffryn Ogwen yn defnyddio recordiau amgylcheddol a geiriau a gafwyd o lyfr nodiadau ysgrifennwr, ac yn galw ar bresenoldebau naturiol ac annaturiol o’r dirwedd.
David Hopewell is a musician, sound artist and archaeologist living in Bethesda, North Wales, with particular interests in environmental recordings, improvisation and live performance. ‘Surfaces’ explores the upper Ogwen valley using environmental recordings and words taken from a writer’s notebook, summoning natural and unnatural presences from the landscape.
Bought solely for the beats of the two haunting Alys Williams tracks, though I respect the artist's vision by getting the entire album rather than individual tracks. I'm glad I did so, because while I still don't think that the collection hangs together that well, the other tracks are growing on me. Rich Hims
