Y Wyrth Ddychrynllyd o Sain wedi'i Recordio!

Fe'ch gwahoddir i fynychu lansiad arbrawf ymchwil a cherddoriaeth mewn tair rhan: arddangosiad o gerflun cerddorol rhyngweithiol o'r enw SCI ★ FI ★ HI ★ FI gan Matt Brennan; dangosiad ffilm fer o The Cost Of Music wedi'i gyfarwyddo gan Graeme O'Hara; a lansiad llyfr Decomposed: A Political Ecology of Music gan Kyle Devine.

Mae “The Terrifying Miracle of Recorded Sound” yn archwilio sut mae cost gwrando ar recordiau wedi newid dros y ganrif ddiwethaf: er nad yw cost economaidd gwrando ar eich dewis o gerddoriaeth wedi'i recordio erioed wedi bod yn is, ni fu'r gost amgylcheddol erioed yn uwch.

The Terrifying Miracle of Recorded Sound!

You are invited to attend the launch of a music + research experiment in three parts: a demonstration of an interactive musical sculpture known as the SCI★FI★HI★FI by Matt Brennan; a short film screening of The Cost Of Music directed by Graeme O'Hara; and a book launch of Decomposed: A Political Ecology of Music by Kyle Devine.

“The Terrifying Miracle of Recorded Sound” explores how the cost of listening to records has changed over the past century: while the economic cost of listening to one’s choice of recorded music has never been lower, the environmental cost has never been higher.
