My recent dalliances with English romanticism have brought me to a point where I have the sirings of an idea. Hawksmoor.There are a seven churches in the East End of London designed or part-designed by Nicolas Hawksmoor. The sonic edge I have been seeking is evinced in these magnificent buildings.
Today the kernel of an idea flourished when I thought to ask a colleague of mine, Robin Higgins to improvise a vocal work around which I will construct a sound piece centered in a Hawksmoor church.
Happily for me, Robin was very interested in the project.
I need to buy a copy of Peter Ackroyd's Hawksmoor and re-read it as soon as possible!
