We Come From The Sun is composed by Cerys Matthews with Hidden Orchestra and features 10 UK poets: MA.MOYO, Raymond Antrobus, Lemn Sissay, Liz Berry, Anthony Anaxagorou, Adam Horovitz, Cia Mangat, Imtiaz Dharker, Kim Moore and Kayo Chingonyi.

“We are living in extraordinary times, I wanted to respond but had the urge to offer more than one voice, more than one perspective. Not an echo chamber” – Cerys Matthews.

In February 2020 Abbey Road studios welcomed each of the 10 poets to record pieces from their collections. Then lock down hit…. But remotely and with the additional help of field recordists and musicians around the world, Cerys and Joe Acheson (Hidden Orchestra) created a sound journey for these poems with the theme of: Genesis; Birth, heritage, a journey about to begin.

Following the release of 2014’s Dylan Thomas: A Child’s Christmas, Poems and Tiger Eggs, Cerys Matthews continues with her love of spoken word and poetry with the release of 2021’s We Come from the Sun. Bringing together ten of her favorite poets, Matthews — alongside the Hidden Orchestra’s Joe Acheson — set the words of the likes of Imtiaz Dharker, Adam Horovitz, and MA.MOYO to a backing of ambient and orchestral music. – Rich Wilson
