"‘Mynydd Preseli’ (the Preseli Mountains) is a continuation on a theme and is the final part of a Pembrokeshire influenced trilogy. The two previous albums in this series were, ‘The Last Seaweed Collecting Hut at Freshwater West’ and ‘Skomargraph’ (the latter, a title based on Skomer Island) both of which were released on Ochre.

"Pembrokeshire is an inspirational place and on admiring and exploring the beautiful landscape, I have found that it is not long before the creative juices are flowing.

"The air is so clean, healthy and invigorating in this part of West Wales, in which lush countryside gives way to the coast; the scenery is just outstanding. A calmness, indeed a slower pace of life, is so evident in this part of the world, a land steeped in history going back to the day of Neolithic man and long before.

"‘Mynydd Preseli’ is at times just downright isolated, desolate and eerie - I have attempted to portray the feel of the mountains at their highest point, the ancient tracks, the wildlife, igneous rock outcrops, raw material through to the vegetation!

"I can honestly say that on ‘Mynydd Preseli’ the musical influences have been sought not from musicians but from the elements themselves - the wind, rain, sun etc. and I have also attempted to conjure up sounds of Neolithic man at work with his tools.

"Minimalist and experimental, the music is hopefully as thought-provoking and challenging to you the listener as it was intended."
