Creating the music for Steel Country

John’s trusty Appalachian dulcimer was called into action, e-bowing its way into becoming a main sonic feature of the score, whipping and gritting its way to the foreground as well as providing pedal type structures on which other elements could take the stage.

Remembering Hedd Wyn

On the 31st July 2017, it was 100 years since Welsh poet Hedd Wyn was killed on the Western Front, shortly before the 1917 Eisteddfod where he was awarded the poetry chair.

Creating the music for Hinterland series III

Having composed the music for the first two series of Hinterland/Y Gwyll, we knew that we needed to retain the signature soundworld of the series, one that has become synonymous with the Cymru Noir genre.

Watch the Hinterland theme on solo harp

The Hinterland/Y Gwyll title theme features the memorable ‘Hinterland’ melody, which is threaded throughout the series soundtrack. In this new version for solo harp, specially arranged by the John Hardy Music team, the melody appears in a new light.
