So another weekend covering Daylight Music. This week, covering for a photographer who dropped out. But I was really glad they did as there was a really good mix of music that in all honesty, I’d never have thought would have worked out. With fantastic choral music from Emily Hall. Great spaced out jazz from Ryan Teague and lovely minimalist cello music from Resina.

Having the opportunity to listen to the choir practice with Emily tweaking the performance was a really uplifting start to the day and it continued into the performance and the whole day was a genuine pleasure to photograph.

The problem with playing the organ at the Union Chapel is, you can’t see the choir.

Another interesting Saturday with a mixture of music styles and even some choreography.

Starting the afternoon was Thomas Stone who played a contrabassoon and activated percussion. I’ve never seen activated percussion. It appears to be some electronic devices connected to a laptop that would hit the drum to make a percussive sound. He played his own compositions and they were interesting minimalistic pieces.

Next up was HART. Again, interesting. He had that kind of high pitched alt-folk voice that was popular a few years ago. It’s not my favourite vocal style as I find it wearing after to long. But this set was just the right length which I enjoyed.

Finally, a departure for Daylight Music, dance. With Lucy Claire’s music accompanied by two dancers. I never bought into dance. But I have to admit, I’ve been warming to it over the last few years and today’s performance really complemented a beautiful composition from Lucy. Most enjoyable.
