"This is a landmark project for us. To capture the full, immersive power of the WNO Orchestra in 360-degree audio for the first time is a thrilling artistic venture. It pushes the boundaries of how contemporary music is experienced, taking our sound out of the concert hall and placing the listener directly inside the music, surrounded by the natural world. It’s a bold, innovative way to share the sound of Wales."

"This project captures the very soul of Dinefwr. It aligns perfectly with our mission to share the stories of our special places in new and accessible ways. By blending the sounds of our ancient woodlands with the beauty of orchestral music, 'Life in the Trees' creates a deeply moving experience that allows people who may never be able to walk beneath these oaks to feel their presence and connect with this vital piece of Welsh heritage."

"The National Eisteddfod is the natural home for a world premiere like this. 'Life in the Trees' perfectly embodies the spirit of the festival – it is a celebration of Welsh culture, landscape, and language, fused with cutting-edge technology. We are incredibly excited to host the launch in Y Pentref Gwyddoniaeth (The Science Village) and to be the first to share this unique immersive experience with our visitors.”

"For our residents, many of whom have deep connections to the Welsh landscape but can no longer visit, this experience is a wonderful gift. It’s more than just a film; it’s a portal. To be able to transport them to the woodlands of Dinefwr, to hear the birds and feel surrounded by nature and beautiful music without leaving their home, is profoundly moving and beneficial for their wellbeing. It's a beautiful use of technology to combat isolation and spark joy."

"This project resonates deeply with our core mission at Cadw: to make Welsh heritage accessible for everyone. It intuitively uses immersive technology to dissolve the physical barriers to one of our most cherished sites, allowing anyone, anywhere, to be transported inside the story of Dinefwr. To feel the ancient woodlands and hear the echoes of history in this way is a creative, inspiring, and profoundly meaningful experience for contemporary communities."

"At Tŷ Cerdd, we champion Welsh music in all its forms, and this project represents an exciting new frontier. Recording the WNO Orchestra for an immersive VR experience required a unique approach, blending cinematic scope with intimate detail. It was a privilege to help capture Owain Llwyd's powerful score and be part of a project that is not only musically ambitious but is pioneering new ways for audiences to connect with the sound of Wales."

"This project beautifully translates our conservation work into a powerful artistic experience. It captures the unique biodiversity of the Dinefwr landscape and shares it in a way that can inspire a new generation to value and protect these vital local habitats. It’s a wonderful fusion of art and advocacy."

"Our national strategy, 'Art in the Landscape', is built on a simple truth: we don't just see landscapes, we experience them. They trigger emotion. Wild Sounds of Wales is a perfect embodiment of this principle. It uses the power of music and immersive technology to go beyond the visual and create a profound, emotional connection to place. This is exactly how we help people understand our shared natural heritage on a deeper level, and how we inspire the stewardship our most precious landscapes deserve."
