I figured it was probably something like that, or just made-up gibberish, but given the details of the ravens, the wolves, etc. it seemed likely he’d used an authentic language.
Thanks!

Maybe the audio is recorded backwards?
It’s more like, “‘L’, but unvoiced” – at least in “Welsh as a foreign language” class. There’s a lot of accents in those parts so I can’t speak with authority.

It’s really not
But with preaspiration, I thought? Never learned it but was always told by people who know such things that there’s preaspiration involved.

It can even be both - I think reading “art” as synonymous with “good” is a mistake
The video is so breathtakingly bad, you might not have noticed that the Wired article also makes clear that the artist is also a terrible person.
I think? It’s hard to even make the noise without a little preaspiration. And the tongue position is a bit different than an Actual L (at least the way I figured out how to do it). If there’s too much aspiration (or if your tongue is in a bad spot) it ends up sounding… spitty.

I guess to a non-Welsh speaker (I don’t speak Welsh), is sounds kind of the like Scottish, or German “ch”, but at the beginning of a word.
To me, a non-Welsh speaker, it sounds most similar to the Scottish, or German “ch”
