0:02:05 > 0:02:09- I like the harp - because it sounds nice.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- I can play this.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- What happens if I stick this - into the camera?
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- Gwil's had an idea - so he asks the cameraman.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- Is it on the TV?
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- You've put lots of TVs in there.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- I can see lots of hands!

0:02:40 > 0:02:43- What's better for a boy - who likes technology...
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- ..than a visit to Techniquest - in Cardiff Bay?
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- Thanks to Taid and Mam-gu - for bringing him.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- Gwil tries all - the experiments inside.
0:03:02 > 0:03:07- This works by pneumatics - - just like the drill on the road.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17- I've just animated this.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- Animation is Sam Tan.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- I feel excited after doing this.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24- There are two levels here.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26- What's upstairs?
0:03:27 > 0:03:32- Gwil's found his second - favourite thing - music.
0:03:32 > 0:03:33- Perfect.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37- Taid and Mam-gu are enjoying it too.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- Back home, Gwil is in Dad's studio.
0:03:58 > 0:03:59- Dad's a composer.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04- He's going to compose a song - about the summer holidays.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- This is sustain, - this is the silent pedal...
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- ..and I'm not sure what that one is.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15- That's sustain.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- Silent pedal. - You can do that and it stays down.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- When you press more than one note...
0:04:23 > 0:04:27- ..it creates a chord.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- I do it because it's a nice sound.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35- Dad and I are going to compose - a song together.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- I like working with Dad. - We're a good team.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41- We need to come up with a melody...
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- ..or at least some chords - for the song.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- Which kind of chords do you like?
0:04:47 > 0:04:51- Show me on the piano - which kind of chords you'd like.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54- That's nice.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56- This is what I really want.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59- That chord.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00- That chord.- - That's E.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- Some chords are happy - and some chords are sad.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09- We could compose it in A major. - That's a nice sound.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- A minor sounds sadder.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14- You wouldn't want that.
0:05:15 > 0:05:21- For a summer song, - we need happy chords.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23- That's nice
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- Then we chose the beat.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- There are different rhythms.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32- Do you want it like this?
0:05:32 > 0:05:36- Different rhythms - give us different moods.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38- Or do you want this?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42- That sounds happy.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49- After choosing the chords, it's time - to come up with summer lyrics.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- Summer, summer, I love summer.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- It's so nice in the summer.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- We're describing the summer now. - It's nice in the summer.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03- Summer, summer, I love summer.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- It's so nice in the summer, - I like summer.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08- I love summer.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09- I love summer.- - I like summer.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- You like summer - but I love summer is better.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- Back in the studio, they start - the process of recording the song.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- # The summer, the summer
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- # I love summer #
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- I'd prefer it if you went like this.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05- # I love summer
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- # Summer's so nice
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- # I love summer
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- # Summer's so nice
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- # I love summer #
0:07:16 > 0:07:17- That's nice.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- We can start recording it.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- After writing the song, - we record the song.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29- They record the piano first - and then the other instruments.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34- What do we need next?
0:07:34 > 0:07:35- What do we need next?- - Bass.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- I can record the bass now.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- The keyboard creates the sound - of all the instruments.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- What are we missing, - to create the rhythm?
0:07:52 > 0:07:53- Drums.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54- Drums.- - Fantastic.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- Now then - do you want to try this?
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- Four beats in. One, two, three.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12- # The summer, the summer

0:08:16 > 0:08:18- # I love summer
0:08:18 > 0:08:20- # Summer's so nice
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- # I love summer #
0:08:24 > 0:08:29- When I record my voice, - I stand next to the mic.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31- # La-la-la-la-la #
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- Ready, Gwil?
0:08:34 > 0:08:38- That's what a mic does. - It records your voice.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42- It goes down the wire - and into the computer.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- # The summer, the summer
0:08:45 > 0:08:46- # I love summer
0:08:47 > 0:08:48- # Summer's so nice

0:09:06 > 0:09:10- I'm going to play the song - to the children in my class.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- I think they'll like it.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- Gwil loves music and technology.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- He uses both - to compose his own songs.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30- After visiting Techniquest, - Gwil's been on his holidays.
