-Rarely are you given

-the opportunity to witness...

0:00:080:00:11

-..the development of a work of art

-from its inception.

0:00:120:00:17

-The Super Furry Animals is a group

-of lively and incredible musicians.

0:00:170:00:23

-A pop group in the most

-sweeping description of the word.

0:00:230:00:26

-A beast filled with imagination,

-creative and musical ability.

0:00:260:00:31

-Their intention is to compose

-a film soundtrack.

0:00:320:00:35

-The film doesn't exist yet...

0:00:350:00:37

-..but it will explore

-the essence and sense...

0:00:370:00:40

-..of the mass of water,

-fire and rock that we call Earth.

0:00:410:00:45

-To reach the summit

-of this ambitious mountain...

0:00:480:00:52

-..they will need assistance.

0:00:520:00:54

-That aid comes from the prominent

-musical Sherpa - Charles Hazlewood...

0:00:540:00:59

-..principal conductor

-of the National Concert Orchestra.

0:01:000:01:04

-Good to see you. Are you well?

0:01:080:01:10

-The Super Furries visit Hazlewood's

-home for the first time...

0:01:100:01:16

-..near the ancient and mythical

-Avalon in south-west England.

0:01:160:01:21

-Hey, man, how are you?

-Good to see you.

0:01:220:01:25

-Hazlewood is a musical explorer -

-a modern-day Madog...

0:01:250:01:29

-..in a ship

-crafted from sound, music and song.

0:01:290:01:33

-To aid the discussions...

0:01:380:01:41

-..he shares exotic spices and fiery

-water amongst the band members.

0:01:420:01:46

-Have some - it's really good.

-It's like petrol.

0:01:460:01:50

-The Super Furries have put

-their faith in Charles for this job.

0:01:500:01:55

-PIANO MUSIC

0:02:010:02:04

-In the sense

-of a movie soundtrack...

0:02:090:02:11

-..you can rearrange it

-and slow it down.

0:02:120:02:14

-There's one big idea which spends

-the whole film being expressed.

0:02:150:02:20

-Once Upon A Time In The West -

-there's only three tracks.

0:02:200:02:25

-Yeah, God, and Vertigo.

0:02:250:02:27

-It's like four notes.

0:02:280:02:30

-That's all it is - the whole film.

0:02:300:02:33

-Played on different tempos.

0:02:330:02:35

-And different harmonies

-morphing around.

0:02:350:02:38

-You could find a central theme...

0:02:380:02:42

-..and then play it in gunpowder...

0:02:420:02:44

-..and strings.

0:02:460:02:49

-To create an orchestral soundtrack

-for an imaginary film...

0:02:490:02:54

-..they need to assemble

-a real orchestra.

0:02:540:02:57

-Charles assembles a group

-of gifted classical musicians...

0:03:040:03:10

-..each one a member of the country's

-most highly renowned orchestras.

0:03:100:03:15

-Spain

0:03:150:03:18

-Curiously,

-since the Super Furry Animals...

0:03:250:03:29

-..have spent so much time together

-over the years...

0:03:290:03:33

-..they've developed an almost

-invisible synchronized energy.

0:03:340:03:39

-It allows ideas

-and inspiration to flow...

0:03:400:03:44

-..from one member to another.

0:03:440:03:47

-It will be difficult

-to find a way...

0:04:020:04:05

-..to share the invisible flow

-with musical strangers.

0:04:050:04:09

-Despite the remarkable creativity

-of the classical musicians...

0:04:090:04:14

-..the balance of this journey

-will be fragile from the outset.

0:04:140:04:19

-The first sessions will be an

-attempt to find the common ground.

0:04:190:04:24

-Unfortunately, not everyone speaks

-the same musical language.

0:04:250:04:29

-The band discusses verses, choruses,

-bridges and middle eights...

0:04:300:04:34

-..the essential building blocks

-of pop music.

0:04:340:04:38

-The classical interlopers

-discuss the same elements...

0:04:390:04:43

-..with terms more classical

-in origin - A1, B1 and so on.

0:04:430:04:47

-Where did you get it?

0:04:560:04:57

-Where did you get it?

-

-In a furniture shop.

0:04:570:04:59

-A furniture shop!

0:04:590:05:00

-BIRDSONG

0:05:110:05:13

-Italian horror. Italian horror.

0:05:200:05:23

-Zoe started doing it.

0:05:240:05:25

-Zoe started doing it.

-

-She's started?

0:05:250:05:27

-Cian tries

-to catch the notes he needs...

0:05:290:05:32

-..but like butterflies,

-they flutter away from his grasp.

0:05:320:05:36

-You started mimicking it.

0:05:370:05:38

-It seems the classical interlopers

-are chained to their training...

0:05:390:05:44

-..unable to grasp his simple vision.

0:05:450:05:47

-Sneering.

0:05:480:05:50

-That's the face.

0:05:500:05:52

-It sounds like

-the death of Buster Keaton to me.

-UPBEAT ELECTRIC GUITAR MUSIC

0:06:100:06:12

-EERIE HUMMING

0:06:320:06:34

-It's different every time -

-the gaps between every beat.

0:07:160:07:19

-A different chord every time.

0:07:200:07:22

-The most useful word is "iawn".

0:07:270:07:30

-What's no?

0:07:300:07:31

-What's no?

-

-Na.

0:07:310:07:33

-"Iawn" means OK.

0:07:330:07:35

-We can use it as an answer

-or a question.

0:07:380:07:41

-Iawn? Iawn.

0:07:410:07:43

-Iawn? Iawn. Iawn!

0:07:430:07:47

-Depending on your mood.

0:07:470:07:49

-You can get it down to... uh!

0:07:500:07:52

-Once you get fluent, you can

-get it down to almost nothing.

-# Ba-ba-ba-ba #

0:08:230:08:24

-OK.

0:08:250:08:26

-Cian, that's that.

-We've got your left hand here...

0:08:280:08:32

-As the old adage goes,

-nobody trips over mountains.

0:08:320:08:38

-It is the small pebble

-that causes you to stumble.

0:08:380:08:41

-Pass all the pebbles in your path...

0:08:410:08:46

-..and you will find

-you have crossed the mountain.

0:08:470:08:51

-The language differences between the

-band and the classical musicians...

0:08:590:09:03

-..are but pebbles

-on this journey upwards.

0:09:040:09:07

-Aren't they?

0:09:080:09:10

-The drums are in and it starts

-to get more rhythmical.

0:09:100:09:13

-We need that quaver thing.

0:09:130:09:15

-Bunf tap-tap-tapping the dulcimer...

0:10:020:10:05

-..wooden birds hop across a drum...

0:10:050:10:08

-..Italian horror films

-and the death of Buster Keaton.

0:10:080:10:13

-Signposts to guide the musicians...

0:10:140:10:16

-..to a destination not yet known...

0:10:170:10:20

-..as Cian's raindrops fall.

0:10:210:10:23

-Cian's raindrops fall.

-Gradually,

-in this new musical galaxy...

0:10:400:10:43

-..the paths

-of the Super Furry Animals...

0:10:430:10:46

-..and the classical interlopers

-begin to merge.

0:10:460:10:49

-PSYCHO-ESQUE VIOLIN

0:10:580:11:01

-As they work on the track Killer...

0:11:010:11:03

-..the focus is on Gruff's remark

-about Italian horror films.

0:11:040:11:08

-They start

-to forge a unified sound...

0:11:100:11:13

-..turning the rehearsal room

-into a cacophony of amazing sound.

0:11:140:11:18

-# Once I was a killer

0:11:300:11:34

-# I killed time

0:11:360:11:38

-# Once I was a killer

0:11:400:11:43

-# I killed time

0:11:440:11:47

-# Once I was a killer

0:11:580:12:00

-# I killed time #

0:12:030:12:06

-You've got to think horror.

0:12:210:12:23

-Think of a horror film.

0:12:260:12:28

-Screams.

0:12:310:12:32

-SHE SCREAMS

0:12:320:12:34

-VIBRATING CHIME

0:13:160:13:18

-Cheers.

0:13:220:13:24

-SCREECHING

0:13:250:13:28

-It's amazing.

0:13:290:13:31

-I'll take a bit of water out of it.

0:13:370:13:39

-Is there water inside?

0:13:390:13:41

-Yes, that's what makes the...

-that's what makes the bend in it.

0:13:420:13:45

-But some pebbles are larger

-than others on that winding path...

0:13:520:13:57

-..towards creative and musical unity.

0:13:580:14:00

-To avoid stumbling is difficult.

0:14:000:14:03

-Sometimes, a grimace can reveal more

-than a thousand words would.

0:14:050:14:11

-As Gruff and Daf

-step into the shadows...

0:14:120:14:16

-..eye contact is avoided

-and musicians gaze at the floor.

0:14:170:14:21

-But sometimes, the land is fertile.

0:14:590:15:03

-The Super Furry Animals

-and the classical interlopers...

0:15:030:15:06

-..are in harmony...

0:15:070:15:09

-..with sounds like a babbling brook

-trickling downstream.

0:15:090:15:13

-Yes indeed. Yes indeed.

0:15:170:15:20

-Everyone and everything is good.

0:15:220:15:26

-It's going on the E Minor, yeah?

0:15:340:15:37

-One, two, three, four.

0:15:370:15:39

-But then, suddenly, the interlopers

-strike out on their own...

0:15:390:15:45

-..leaving the band

-scratching their heads.

0:15:450:15:48

-Where can they be going?

0:15:520:15:53

-Where can they be going?

-

-C Minor.

0:15:530:15:55

-This isn't the route

-we all agreed upon.

0:15:580:16:01

-F minor!

0:16:090:16:11

-C minor.

0:16:120:16:13

-F minor.

0:16:130:16:15

-G.

0:16:160:16:17

-Stick that modulation right

-at the end when it's really steamy.

0:16:310:16:36

-There's a while

-between drums and percussion.

0:16:370:16:40

-Gruff tries to relieve

-the tension with a game.

0:16:410:16:44

-Drums versus percussion.

0:16:440:16:47

-It's an excuse to make a racket.

-I have the world's loudest whistle.

0:16:490:16:54

-WHISTLE

0:16:540:16:55

-WHISTLE

0:16:590:17:01

-WHISTLE

0:17:030:17:05

-Once again,

-everyone and everything is good.

0:17:060:17:10

-Gruff, have you got a guitar run

-we can work on?

0:17:110:17:14

-Good morning, how are you today?

0:17:150:17:18

-Uh, yeah.

0:17:180:17:19

-# Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

0:17:200:17:22

-# Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo #

0:17:230:17:25

-Sometimes, it's worthwhile

-reaching out to the fringes...

0:17:260:17:30

-..to search

-for something different...

0:17:310:17:34

-..if only to confirm

-and highlight...

0:17:350:17:38

-..the value

-of what you already have inside.

0:17:380:17:41

-This realization may well be the

-desired outcome of these sessions.

0:17:440:17:49

-If so, maybe it's all been

-a roaring success.

0:17:500:17:54

-Maybe.

0:17:560:17:57

-# Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba #

0:18:060:18:09

-Charles Hazlewood and the Super

-Furries meet up in Cardiff Bay.

0:18:090:18:14

-They meet up with Costas...

0:18:180:18:21

-..a notator and keeper of the books

-of inspiration and innovation.

0:18:210:18:26

-Carefully, he's recorded

-every note and chord...

0:18:270:18:31

-..played during the sessions

-at the Urdd Centre.

0:18:320:18:35

-Now, all together, they try

-to re-arrange the sessions...

0:18:360:18:41

-..to create

-some kind of unified composition.

0:18:410:18:45

-I don't know how soon

-the A3 should come in...

0:18:490:18:52

-..if there should be

-an A1 before the A3...

0:18:530:18:56

-..or if the other arrangement

-in A1...

0:18:560:18:59

-..should...

0:19:000:19:01

-My thinking is you would need

-another A1 before the A3.

0:19:020:19:06

-During the process of trying to

-create an orchestral arrangement...

0:19:060:19:13

-..the language barrier

-is once more a problem.

0:19:130:19:16

-A1, B again and then A3.

0:19:160:19:19

-A1, B1, A2 and so on.

0:19:190:19:23

-It should be a simple process.

0:19:240:19:26

-A sound is a sound

-and an ear is an ear.

0:19:260:19:29

-Everyone play the main riff

-to start with...

0:19:320:19:35

-..and then splinter off.

0:19:350:19:37

-Is that the plan? Everyone

-in unison to start and then...

0:19:380:19:42

-HE SINGS A MELODY

0:19:420:19:44

-STRINGS REPLICATE HIS MELODY

0:19:470:19:49

-Sax and violin and everything.

0:19:530:19:55

-It's better with two.

0:19:560:19:58

-The birth of Morocco

-is a slow struggle.

0:20:060:20:09

-Every breath is a battle as it

-struggles to form a personality.

0:20:100:20:14

-The classical interlopers...

0:20:410:20:43

-..proceed with gusto,

-chasing Cian's whirling dervish.

0:20:440:20:50

-But all attempts prove futile...

0:20:500:20:53

-..and Morocco is laid to rest.

0:20:530:20:56

-In time, it will be

-resurrected and reshaped...

0:21:040:21:08

-..for the Super Furry Animals'

-next album...

0:21:080:21:11

-..Dark Days/Light Years...

0:21:120:21:13

-..remodelled into

-The Very Best Of Neil Diamond.

0:22:060:22:07

-Maybe, somewhere in the future,

-you'll be walking in Carmarthen...

0:22:100:22:14

-..Bethesda, or even Cardiff...

0:22:150:22:17

-..and you'll hear someone

-whistling a chorus...

0:22:170:22:21

-..which sprouted

-from the roots of these sessions.

0:22:220:22:26

-Who knows?

0:22:270:22:29

-Who really knows?

0:22:290:22:32

-Let's have a cup of tea, cup of tea!

0:22:350:22:38

-No!
