9Bach's music is atmospheric, evocative and emotional hybrid of the Welsh folk tradition and contemporary influences and working practices. Building on a deepened, almost ambient sound picture, the songs take you into the landscape and the emotions that it evokes. Music is a living thing, not a museum piece and the way that 9Bach compose and perform reflect this.

9Bach was formed by Lisa Jen and Martin Hoyland in 2005.
