Spire Live in York Minster
Last weekend, I was visiting a friend up in the cold North. Actually, it wasn't really that cold and the sun was shining as well. I also have to say that York is a rather pretty place indeed.
We went to the Spire Live Event at the famous York Minster to see Charles Matthews (organ), Marcus Davidson (organ and piano), Christian Fennesz (electronics), Phil Jeck (turntables), BJNilsen (electronics), Robert Millner, John Beaumont and Amy Moore (voices) as well as the Minster bell ringers and Leif Inge (installation).
Spire is running in its fourth consecutive year now with the same concept applied to a variety of European churches, among them Geneva, Linz, Amsterdam, Gøteborg and Brussels. Some of the live recodrings of theses events were later published by Touch.
As one might imgaine, the acoustics were rather amazing and it was really nice to experience Fennesz' ambience sound carpets in a setting like this.
