New Large Scale Artwork At Liverpool Anglican Cathedral For LightNight 2016
Daniel Thorne (founder of IMMIX ensemble), to arrange stunning Bill Ryder-Jones composition for large scale audio visual artwork, ‘NO WORST, THERE IS NONE’, featuring Liverpool Cathedral Youth Choir and visual artists Sam and Damien Wiehl, at LightNight 2016.
Ad Hoc Creative, a collaboration between Bido Lito! Magazine and Ad Hoc Property Management, have announced ‘No Worst, There is None’, a one-off audio visual composition for LightNight 2016 being held at Liverpool’s Anglican Cathedral on Friday 13th May. The project, based around IMMIX ensemble founder Daniel Thorne’s arrangement of a gorgeous Bill Ryder-Jones orchestral piece, will feature Liverpool Cathedral Youth Choir and visual artists Sam and Damien Wiehl, resulting in a stunning large scale immersive audio visual performance.
The artwork, which is based around Bill Ryder-Jones’ sweeping response to the Gerard Manley Hopkins poem from which this project is named, is to be presented within an immersive, multimedia, light and AV environment, and performed twice (9pm and 10pm) during the evening of 13th May at Liverpool Cathedral. Additionally, the large scale performance will feature readings of ‘No Worst, There Is None’ from members of Liverpool-based social enterprise The Reader’s community reading groups.
Bill Ryder-Jones said of the project, “Writing the ‘No Worst, There Is None’ commission was one of the most enjoyable jobs I’ve had. Expressing my thoughts on a source material in music is something I’ve done and loved doing for a while now. This project was no different. I was told that I could do whatever I wanted to create a musical interpretation to the Gerard Manley Hopkins’ poem, and more importantly I was never asked to explain myself in it.”
