About this Event
Peiriant are a duo of violin and electric guitar, who play with melody and tonality to create atmosphere and soundscape. Electronic equipment, samples and found objects also add to their semi-improvised pieces, which are spun from grounded ideas.
Based in Hay on Wye, Rose and Dan Linn-Pearl draw from their foundation in folk and classical in addition to post-rock, minimalism and sound art to weave experimental music that is anchored in the Welsh landscape.
They play with layers of drone and dissonance, contrasting with songs and pure tones to give a rich and sonorous auditory experience.
Their recent album ‘Dychwelyd’ featured in The Guardian’s top ten folk albums of 2024.
