9Bach’s music is an atmospheric, evocative, and emotional hybrid of the Welsh folk tradition, and of contemporary influences and working practices. Building on a deepened, almost ambient sound picture, the songs take you into the landscape and the emotions that it evokes. Music is a living thing, not a museum piece, and the way that 9Bach compose and perform reflect this."...everything is the wrong way round. We have a Welsh Harp, which is probably the most traditional Welsh instrument there is, but it's not played in the traditional way. It's played with feel, and heart, and it's very conscious of the song, so rather than being the main focus, it's very atmospheric. Then we have a harmonium, an Indian instrument; no one in the band knows how that is supposed to be played, but we just love the sound." Martin Hoyland
