about

In June 2021, 24 artists broadcast 24 hours of sounds from - and in dialogue with - an empty house, Plas Bodfa in Wales. Artists from around the world were then invited to remix those sounds into new compositions.

This is Volume II of the Amgueddfa Llwch contribution to the project's second phase: a personal selection of our favourite remixes, released freely for your listening enjoyment.

‘Sounds for an Empty House’ is a project in two phases.

The first was a 24-hour livestream, inviting 24 sound artists and groups to live-mix, augment and manipulate sounds created by Plas Bodfa, a currently empty manor house in North Wales. Each hour was recorded and unleashed into the world as source material for an open call for new audio compositions.

Phase 2 is the culmination of all these creative efforts, a collection of works reimagining ways that sound can connect people to place, illuminating minute details of specific location through a unique audio experience. 44 artists have contributed to the three albums, creatives from Wales, UK, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, The Channel Islands, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Turkey and the United States.

Each track is a unique and innovative remix, using only recordings from the 24-hour livestream as source material. The tracks are as varied as the artists, but the sounds created by the house itself serve as unifying elements, guiding listeners through the soundscapes - gusty winds through exposed drainpipes, a crackly panel breathing with the airflow, water dripping, a seagull on the slate roofing tiles.

Information about each track is available on the tracks' individual pages.

This is a no-money-in / no-money-out project. but if you have cash burning a hole in your pocket, seek out the artists involved and buy some of their other music.
