Nico Muhly - David Hockney: Bigger & Closer (not smaller and further away)
Bedroom Community Unveils Nico Muhly's Mesmerizing Music Score for David Hockney's Light Room Exhibition This extraordinary collaboration between two artistic giants promises to transport audiences on an unparalleled sensory journey of art and music. As a composer and pianist renowned for his groundbreaking work, Nico Muhly returns to the label where he took his initial steps alongside Valgeir Sigurdsson and Ben Frost. His specially composed score for the Light Room Exhibition elevates Hockney's visual artistry to new heights, infusing each masterpiece with depth and emotion through music. Drawing on his unique ability to blend diverse musical influences, Muhly's compositions create a seamless marriage of sound and vision, guiding visitors through the six themed chapters of Hockney's iconic works. The music weaves effortlessly with Hockney's commentary, offering an immersive experience that allows audiences to intimately connect with the creative process behind each brushstroke. Bedroom Community takes great pride in presenting this exceptional musical score, tracing Hockney's artistic evolution from the vibrant streets of LA to the serene landscapes of Yorkshire and the captivating beauty of Normandy. Muhly's evocative melodies accompany visitors on an audio-visual Wagner Drive, a virtual expedition into the San Gabriel Mountains, brought to life through animated re-creations of Hockney's spellbinding stage designs. Bedroom Community invites art enthusiasts and music lovers to embark on this extraordinary journey of artistic synergy, experiencing the magical fusion of Nico Muhly's music score and David Hockney's iconic works at Lightroom London throughout 2023.  David Hockney: Bigger & Closer (not smaller and further away) Music composed by Nico Muhly Recorded at RAK Studios, London and Remotely Will Purton (Engineer) Fritz Myers (Mixer) Valgeir Sigurðsson (mastering) Zara Benyounes and Mandhira de Saram (violins), Clifton Harrison (viola), Zoe Matthews (viola), Ben Michaels (cello), Alex Sopp (flute/piccolo), Nico Muhly (pianos/celestas) Commissioned by Lightroom UK Mark Grimmer (director) Richard Slaney (producer) Musicians contracted by Rob Ames Score preparation by Nathan Thatcher Album art, used by permission A Bigger Grand Canyon by David Hockney (1998) in Lightroom, King's Cross Photo Credit: Justin Sutcliffe

Akropolis Reed Quintet - Hymns for Private Use - Shara Nova turns up on this album too, singing Nico Muhly’s titular song cycle
Hymns for Private Use is the 5th album released by the Detroit-based Akropolis Reed Quintet and features original works by composers Annika Socolofsky and Nico Muhly. On Socolofsky’s so much more, Akropolis is joined by 7 small business owners from 4 states whose personal stories of community and sacrifice are woven together on a spoken word track, sourced from over 7 hours of interviews conducted in 2020. Soprano Shara Nova joins Akropolis on Muhly’s Hymns for Private Use, which draws upon 5 spiritual texts from early English sources from the 12th to 18th centuries. These two large-scale works are connected by intimate stories of ambition and devotion made available for each listener’s own “private use.” Tracks composed by: Nico Muhly (1-5) and Annika Socolofsky (6-10) Produced by: Courtney Snyder Ng (1-5) and Annika Socolofsky (6-10) Published by: Nico Muhly (1-5) and Annika Socolofsky (6-10) Engineer: Dave Schall Acoustic Mastered by: Nick Lloyd Scribe: Sean Meyers Cover Art and Album Package Design by Marian C. Holmes Recorded at First Presbyterian Church in Ypsilanti, MI on 7/10/18; Blue Sword Studios in Detroit, MI on 2/10/22 (1-5) and First Presbyterian Church in Ypsilanti, MI on 1/8/22 (6-10)
