Rhosyn

Rhosyn is the project of Rose Dagul, a composer and producer based in Peckham, London. The music develops from vocal and orchestral experiments from her art college years and centres on layered strings, cello, percussion and voice. Dagul is classically trained on the cello and describes her approach as trying to imitate and use electronics while keeping the character of acoustic instruments and vocals intact.

Her sound is often described in relation to a wide range of influences, from Kate Bush’s vocal range and theatricality to the folk-inflected, gently eccentric feel associated with Arthur Russell. The recordings are marked by layered vocal loops, gradually building arrangements and a strong sense of individuality, with themes of solitude and loneliness. The first official release, Elbow Of Capture, appears on the Blessing Force label and is recorded in the remote coastal village of Rhoscolyn.
