Light Stories presents tales from Matthew Barley’s life, told through music and projected imagery, narrating his search for meaning in music-making and how, in time, he came to heal past wounds. The performance incorporates pieces by Joby Talbot, Anna Meredith, John Metcalfe and Bach with new works by Barley, connected by moments of improvisation and electronics.
This is a passionate celebration of the redemptive power of music, bringing Barley’s teenage story of trauma and recovery into the light for the first time, integrating the twin senses of seeing and hearing, music and memory, sight and sound.Innovative film-makers Yeast Culture create projected images as a vivid counterpoint to the music, evoking the darkness of trauma and its transformation into clarity and understanding.
Mae Light Stories yn cyflwyno hanesion o fywyd Matthew Barley, wedi’u hadrodd trwy gerddoriaeth a delweddaeth wedi’u taflunio, yn adrodd ei chwiliad am ystyr mewn creu cerddoriaeth a sut, ymhen amser, y daeth i wella clwyfau’r gorffennol. Mae’r perfformiad yn ymgorffori darnau gan Joby Talbot, Anna Meredith, John Metcalfe a Bach gyda gweithiau newydd gan Barley, wedi’u cysylltu gan eiliadau o fyrfyfyr ac electroneg.
Mae hwn yn ddathliad angerddol o bŵer achubol cerddoriaeth, gan ddod â stori Barley yn eu harddegau am drawma ac adferiad i’r golau am y tro cyntaf, gan integreiddio’r synhwyrau deuol o weld a chlywed, cerddoriaeth a chof, golwg a sain.Gwneuthurwyr ffilm arloesol Yeast Mae diwylliant yn creu delweddau wedi’u taflunio fel gwrthbwynt byw i’r gerddoriaeth, gan ddwyn i gof dywyllwch trawma a’i drawsnewid yn eglurder a dealltwriaeth.
