The Dovecote Sessions - Laura Cannell

"In September 2022 I was invited for a residency and to create something new in The Dovecote Studio in the week leading up to Festival of New at Snape Maltings & Britten Pears Arts in Suffolk.

This is what I created in under the name The Dovecote Sessions - Music for 4 violins, 3 recorded and 1 live performer.

I performed 10 x 10 minute sessions to tiny audiences of up to 10 people who were brought into the space by torchlight and seated silently on chairs facing the double height wood panelled Dovecote.

Colour was projected onto the wooden walls, which moved and morphed with the music.

The tracks which make up 'The Dovecote Sessions' are improvisations that were created in the space, recorded and played on speakers attached underneath suspended violins. I played my violin from behind the audience and gradually duetted with each speaker.

Thanks to Britten Pears Arts and Sofi Nowell for providing the space and support for this project."
