0:00:34 > 0:00:37- He thought the ball throwing - was a bit pathetic...

0:05:45 > 0:05:47- Can we expect more of that?
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- I don't know. - It started as a solo project.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56- For the first gig I had, I got a lot - of friends to come and play.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Since then, every gig - came one after the other.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01- We carried on as a band.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- When I write, - I like to write on my own.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06- Well, almost on my own.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- The new stuff is more individual.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- I prefer to play with a band, - really.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- Is the process of writing - completely computer based?
0:06:15 > 0:06:17- Do you put on your headphones - and mess around...
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- ..or is there an organic system?
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- No, I just mess around - on my headphones.
0:06:23 > 0:06:28- You told me before the interview - that you create sounds...
0:06:29 > 0:06:30- ..for special effects.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32- Is that right?
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Sounds for phones and games - and stuff like that.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- How does that work?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39- Do you put it into a database?
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Do you put it into a database?- - Well, you sell licences.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46- You make sounds of buttons - or whatever.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50- If you're lucky, they sell, - if not, you're still lucky.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55- Can you use those same sounds - you created in your music?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- No, I don't do that.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- There might be a few stray beeps - on the new album.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02- Phone beeps?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- Phone beeps and text beeps.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29- Will that be with Turnstyle?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- Will that be with Turnstyle?- - I would think so, yes.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- Are you hoping to tour that - with the band?
0:07:34 > 0:07:40- Well, not the EP so much, but the - album is more to do with the band.
0:07:40 > 0:07:45- It would be nice to have more people - help out with recreating that.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- There we go. - I hope it all goes well.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- I'm looking forward - to hearing the album.

0:08:48 > 0:08:49- Are you nervous? I am.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50- Are you nervous? I am.- - Yes, I am.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53- Are they obscure?
0:08:53 > 0:08:54- Are they obscure?- - What do we have?
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- Oh, no! I guessed that.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59- We did guess that.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00- We did guess that.- - That's class.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06- We've got Eden - Rho I Mi Wen.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08- Yes, Paid A Bod Ofn or...
0:09:08 > 0:09:10- Yes, Paid A Bod Ofn or...- - Dal Yn Y Canol.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- I saw Eden at Tafwyl last week.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13- Were they good?
0:09:13 > 0:09:14- Were they good?- - Really good.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16- You got a selfie with them.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- You got a selfie with them.- - Yes. Everyone was going nuts.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- For those of you not old enough...
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- ..to remember the heyday - of '90s pop groups...
0:09:24 > 0:09:26- ..Eden - were one of the most popular ones.
0:09:26 > 0:09:31- Young girls and boys all over Wales - loved the sweet melodies...
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- ..and dance moves - by Rachael, Non and Emma.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- In case you're wondering, - Emma was my favourite.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41- The phenomenon of Welsh pop groups - came to an end quite quickly.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- But Eden's music - has proven the test of time.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- The group reformed recently.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- Which song did the group pick today?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53- We don't know Dal Yn Y Canol - that well.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- I know Rho I Mi Wen but you don't.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- Not that much. - Not enough to play with it.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02- So, Paid A Bod Ofn?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05- Paid A Bod Ofn, - but a creepy version.
0:10:05 > 0:10:06- I look forward to it.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- You better get started then.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10- Woohoo!
0:10:11 > 0:10:12- Oh, no!
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- How many phones do you have?!
0:10:16 > 0:10:18- I said you deal drugs, didn't I?
0:10:24 > 0:10:25- Different octaves there.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- This is bread and butter - for you in a way.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- It's catchy pop.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41- It's about love.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- Why do you think my songs - are about love?
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- You've got one or two.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47- Have I?
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- I'm not sure. - I can't remember your songs.
0:10:51 > 0:10:52- I don't listen to you.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- In what direction - are you taking it at present?
0:10:57 > 0:11:02- We've taken it - in a darker, slower direction.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- Will Eden be happy?
0:11:05 > 0:11:06- Oh, I hope so.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10- I hope so. That's all a person - can hope for is Eden to be happy.
0:11:10 > 0:11:11- Indeed, in life.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58- Ifan and I - make music together anyway.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- We know what that sounds like.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03- It started going down that road.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07- Bethan put the synth on it - and it's gone somewhere else.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11- Hello and welcome to Monnow Valley. - Good news, we've recorded something.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- You've got to do the vocals next.
0:12:15 > 0:12:20- That could take a long time or - it couldn't. It depends on Bethan.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- That's how you're going - - Bethan is singing?
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- I think - it'll be a really nice sound.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33- Bethan's been singing since the - start and she's started on it now.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35- We'll see how she feels.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- If one voice - suits one part of the song better...
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- I'm sure we'll all be on it - in the end.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- It's quite different - to Swnami's stuff.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45- The sound is more live and raw.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50- We've played the guitars and bass - and a lot of stuff in one take.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- It's a totally different experience.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- It's nice to work on something - in a day.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- You've got to go - with the first decision.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59- The first half was perfect.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02- There are a few "ohs" first.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- Do you want to do those?
0:13:04 > 0:13:05- Yes, may as well.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06- Yes, may as well.- - Same place.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08- Can you cue me in?
0:13:08 > 0:13:09- When the chorus starts?
0:13:09 > 0:13:10- When the chorus starts?- - Yes.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- Scream, scream!
0:13:27 > 0:13:28- Class.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30- Class.- - I think that's in a good place.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- All we need to do is get - a replica photo of us like Eden.
0:13:34 > 0:13:34- I'm Rachael.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36- I'm Rachael.- - Yes.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38- You need the one shoulder.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42- And then you can be Non - because you're the musical one.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46- Eden, are you happy?
0:13:46 > 0:13:51- The first thing we said was it would - be nice to do a sinister version.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53- It is definitely that.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55- Bethan gave it a creepy edge.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- This is a bit more, - "Don't be scared, come here."
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- Right, so that's - what you've tried to do.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- They still - haven't heard the original.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- You haven't listened - to the original?
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- No, the guys who recorded us - haven't heard it.
0:14:13 > 0:14:14- Let's play it for them.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15- Let's play it for them.- - Yeah!
0:14:18 > 0:14:20- They were doing all of that as well.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23- Awful.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25- Don't use that.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28- Don't put that in!
0:14:29 > 0:14:30- Put it in.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- That's it for this week. All - the songs are up on the Internet.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41- We leave you tonight - with R.Seiliog. Goodnight.
