Day 17: Your Favourite Place

Welsh translation: Diwrnod 17: Eich Hoff Le

Visit a favourite nearby place – it could be a quiet park, a bustling museum, a cosy kitchen or a windy countryside trail. Pause, close your eyes and listen. You might hear the chirping of birds, the crunch of leaves underfoot, the hum of a microwave or the soft chatter of voices.

Use your phone (or any recording device) and capture some of these sounds. Then add your own contribution to the sounds around you – recite a poem, sing a song or play an instrument. Let your voice or melody blend with the sounds around you. Record it all at once or mix the sounds later on your phone (or computer) to create your own unique soundscape – capturing the magic of your special place and how it feels in that moment.

Ewch i ymweld â’ch hoff le lleol – gallai fod yn barc tawel, yn amgueddfa brysur, cegin gartrefol neu lwybr gwyntog yn y wlad. Oedwch, caewch eich llygaid a gwrando. Efallai y byddwch yn clywed adar yr canu, dail yn crensian o dan draed, meicrodon yn hymian neu leisiau’n sgwrsio’n dawel.

Defnyddiwch eich ffôn (neu offer recordio arall) i greu cofnod o rai o’r synau hyn. Yna ychwanegwch eich cyfraniad chi i’r synau o’ch amgylch – adroddwch gerdd, canwch gân neu ganu offeryn. Gadewch i’ch llais neu’r alaw blethu â’r synau o’ch amgylch. Recordiwch bopeth ar yr un pryd neu gymysgu’r seiniau yn nes ymlaen ar eich ffôn neu eich cyfrifiadur i greu eich seinwedd unigryw eich hun – rhywbeth sy’n cofnodi hud arbennig y lle a sut roedd o’n teimlo ar y funud honno.
