David Hockney: Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away)

Released 2023-09-08

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.

Nico Muhly’s score accompanied David Hockney’s works at Lightroom London from 2023.
