Format: 8-minute immersive VR experience with 360° video and spatial audio

Life in the Trees is Chapter 1 of Wild Sounds of Wales, an award-winning innovative orchestral and VR project uniting music, ecology and heritage. With music composed by Owain Llwyd and performed by the Welsh National Opera Orchestra, at its centre is the story of one oak: a thousand lives sustained through the cycle of growth, decay and renewal. What appears as loss becomes regeneration, a portrait of resilience in the face of climate anxiety, directed and written by Jacinth Latta. With field recordings by Axel Drioli and visuals by Domonic White, the work surrounds the viewer with the living sounds and images of Dinefwr’s ancient oak woodlands.

Life in the Trees has toured from Tŷ Pawb in Wrexham and the National Eisteddfod of Wales to Bryn Seiont Newydd Dementia Care Home in Caernarfon, with a special showcase for MPs at the House of Commons. It is part of a wider coalition of leading Welsh institutions using music and sound as a catalyst to reconnect people with the landscape and inspire hope in the climate emergency.
