about

The ‘Stills’ project asks composers to create a piece of music in response to a self-selected work of art exhibited in London’s Tate Britain Gallery, presenting each of them with a premise; if each respective artwork represented a still from a scene, what would the score sound like?

With ‘Stills 02’, this innovative project continues as four renowned composer / sound-designers respond to the work of four artists, creating unique scores for iconic paintings by the likes of illustrious Edwardian portraitist John Singer Sargent, English early Romantic painter George Stubbs, British Pre-Raphaelite painter Henry Wallis & Hungarian figurative artist Magda Cordell.

Here, visions of en-plein-air impressionism, 18th century lyricism, lavish romanticism and brutalist materiality are interpreted with a vivid sense of individuality. The spatial sound design and liberated experimentation of ‘Stills 01’ - the first instalment in the series - is maintained yet modified by a contemporary cinematic approach, making for a collection of dramatic neo-classical arrangements encompassing field recordings, harmonic drones, lush strings, and minimalist horns.

On ‘Stills 02’, composers Mike Bamford, Adam Smyth, Kaspar Broyd and Lawrence Kendrick imagine new worlds for historic art.
