0:06:01 > 0:06:03- We have to be careful what we do.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- Instantly, I feel we have a - connection between Breton and Wales.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10- The language and feeling - and everything.
0:06:10 > 0:06:16- It's not really something - that you can explain.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- Maybe only because it's Thursday.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- By Sunday we'll be thinking, - "get the fuck out of here."
0:06:23 > 0:06:25- The driver is on the phone.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- But I think he's pretending - he's on the phone...
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- ..so he doesn't have - to speak to Ceri.

0:07:29 > 0:07:33- How easy would it be - to do something similar in Wales?
0:07:35 > 0:07:40- Simple, multi-function stage, - outdoors with a view.

0:10:46 > 0:10:47- The Swiss Alps.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- This is nuts. - We're on top of the alps.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- A lot of people have asked us - when the album's coming out.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01- There's nothing better than being - a regional rock star here.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- It's really relaxing.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20- Yes, we're starting now.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23- They've still got our instruments.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29- OK. Tara, tara.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35- The other band isn't coming - so we might have to do two sets.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40- We don't have any instruments.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42- We're using their instruments.

0:13:21 > 0:13:25- Some people have left but - there's still a crowd by the bar.
0:13:25 > 0:13:25- They're a good bunch.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- They're a good bunch.- - Really good.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30- J'adore. I like your music.
0:13:31 > 0:13:32- Thank you, guys.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- We'll walk as far as we can, lads.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- It's time to head home. Champery, - Switzerland, until next time!
0:13:51 > 0:13:53- Au revoir.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12- Carwyn and Plu, welcome to Ochr 1.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- Thanks for coming in - to record a session.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- You've been working together - for months now.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23- Elan, could you tell me - how this project came about?
0:14:23 > 0:14:26- I think the discussion began - back in September.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- It was quite vague at the start.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32- We started working together.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34- That turned into recording an EP...
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- ..which turned - into recording an album.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42- Carwyn, were you familiar - with Plu's work anyway?
0:14:43 > 0:14:45- Did you always want - to work with them?
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- Yes. I was a fan.
0:14:47 > 0:14:53- I really wanted to work with voices - and make a project with voices.
0:14:54 > 0:15:00- I wanted to concentrate on the songs - and the sound of the voices.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05- Most of the songs were written - by Carwyn even though we sing them.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06- It's a combination of both.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09- There are a lot of acoustic sounds.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- We recorded a lot of it live too.
0:15:12 > 0:15:18- Did you start as a live project - or did recording come first?
0:15:18 > 0:15:20- We recorded first.
0:15:21 > 0:15:26- On the tour, we played some Plu - stuff and some Colorama stuff.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- Then we'd come together - at the end...
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- ..and play some of the songs - we'd recorded.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35- They were all quite new and fresh.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- We'd only written and recorded - them weeks before.
0:15:39 > 0:15:44- Most of the songs have evolved a lot - with the overdubs.
0:15:44 > 0:15:50- There are various instruments - and more vocals.
0:15:50 > 0:15:57- We were very excited and happy with - what we created at Acapela studio.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01- It's turned into - something different.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04- We're happier with it now.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- I hope the feeling is still there.
0:16:07 > 0:16:12- The feeling of us as a small group - singing and playing together.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- As the original concept.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19- Tell us about the studio. - Had you worked at Acapela before?
0:16:19 > 0:16:21- It's an old church, isn't it?
0:16:21 > 0:16:22- It's an old chapel.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27- It's very small - as far as chapels go.
0:16:27 > 0:16:33- It feels like, even though it's got - a high ceiling, it feels quite cosy.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- They've blacked out the windows - and put a lot of rugs down.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- Even though it's a chapel, - it feels warm and intimate.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- It feels like a living room.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46- There's beautiful lighting.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- There's a lot of wood - which helps the sound.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51- It's a wonderful place to record.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56- There are great instruments there. - A wonderful piano.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58- As a living room, it's great!
0:16:59 > 0:17:03- Carwyn, we're used to you - writing for yourself...
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- ..either for the Colorama project - or Zarelli.- - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carwyn_Ellis#Zarelli
0:17:07 > 0:17:11- How did you go about - writing for a group...
0:17:11 > 0:17:16- ..when you already knew - who they were and how they sounded?
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- I really enjoyed - working with these guys.
0:17:21 > 0:17:27- They add so much to the words.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32- They helped me - with the stuff I was singing...
0:17:32 > 0:17:37- ..but also added so much - to the stories I wanted to convey.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40- Do you feel you've had - a different experience?
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- I imagine there's some arguing - between the three of you...
0:17:44 > 0:17:46- ..when you work on your own.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- How does it compare - to have someone else there?
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- Carwyn is the quiet, still centre - amongst the storm.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56- Was he what the group needed?
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- No, it's just a new experience - for us and me.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05- It's great to have another pair - of ears to lend an opinion...
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- ..and to listen to your opinion.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- It's a positive - and fresh way of working.
