Tristan Rhys Williams

Mae Tristan yn creu gwaith sain yn seiliedig ar wefr seicoddaearyddol o Ynys Môn. Maent yn gweithio tuag at esthetig defodol, diraddiedig wedi’i lywio gan yr elfennau a’r safleoedd hynafol yn yr amgylchoedd.

Tristan makes soundworks based on the psychogeographic charge from Ynys Môn (the isle of Anglesey). They work towards a ritualistic, degraded aesthetic informed by the elements and ancient sites in the environs.
