The brain-child of West Wales native Owen Shiers, this Cynefin Â§ is a musical mapping project which traces a line from the past to the present – starting in the Clettwr Valley where Owen grew up, immersed in Welsh music.

§ Cynefin, 'kuh-neh-vin', a Welsh word with no direct equivalent in English, is a journey to discover.   Often translated into English as ‘habitat’, but more than a place in a physical or geographical sense; it's a historic, cultural and social place which has shaped and continues to shape the community which inhabits it.   The word has been included as a core concept within the Schools Curriculum for Wales.  Originally, it meant a habitual sheep-track.  ~ Editor.
