Ellylldan is a one man ambient folk project from Sam Knight. Located in West Sussex, England, his sound is influenced primarily by Nature and the Austrian ambient project Uruk-Hai but also a number of other bands and musicians including Vàli, Tenhi, Ashes (UK), Hate Forest, Drudkh, Saturnus, Uaral, Somanmbuul, In Gowan Ring & Summoning. Ellylldan's sound is self-described as "Neo-Classical Heathen Folk" music on the official myspace page. It is a mix of keyboards and ambient nature sounds. There are four Ellylldan releases to date, The Grey of the Storm Blinds All Hope, Book II, Dyffryn Morgannwg and Battlefields. The first two were released on the independent label Dungeons Deep Records. The previous albums are now available free on Ellylldans bandcamp page at http://ellylldan.bandcamp.com/ Themes & Ideology Ellylldan's themes deal primarily with nature, conjuring images of earth with very little civilization, and instead concentrating on the music that nature creates around us and is already there. The Project's Name Ellylldan comes from the Welsh version of Will-o'-the-wisp, it appears as a light that purposefully misleads travelers from their path. Generally they are seen as malevolent, guiding lone travelers from their path and into treacherous bogs.
