Set a tone That reaches and reaches Into inner warmth Knowing that the way the conversation went at dinner Will resonate into the children's way of being in class tomorrow How they feel about themselves Resonating into their friends' families Resonating into their resonances It matters Every note Lands in a teapot of other notes What are they brewing? Is it integrety? Those relationships are making more relationships What have I contributed? How is the ring of my being singing through others?

about

‘Singing Through Others’, is the fifth album and first independent release from composer Danny Mulhern (www.dannymulhern.com). It continues his collaboration with the London Contemporary Orchestra, and was recorded at the Church Studios, Crouch End and Angels Studios, Islington between 2019 and 2022.

Since scoring the critically acclaimed Hollywood film ‘What They Had’ (dir. Elizabeth Chomko) in 2018, Mulhern has been examining the motivations behind his work. ‘Singing Through Others’ is essentially a meditation on relationships, taking its title from the words of poet and philosopher Nora Bateson, who also appears on the album. The work of philosopher Iain McGilchrist, whose work Mulhern has followed closely, has also inspired the titles of three of the pieces on the album; ‘We Are Not Machines’, ‘Everything Flows’ and ‘The Fertile Night’.

Mulhern is motivated by the role art can play in our connection to meaning, and that relationships – personal and collective – are primary to this.

‘Singing Through Others’ is perhaps also an examination (or even a lament) of the concept of an album as an artwork in 2022. “It’s interesting thinking about an album as a concept in 2022. Are they consumed as a coherent body of work anymore? I very much have faith that art matters, and this is the best of what emerged from me over the last couple of years. I like the idea of these eleven individual pieces both standing alone, and coming together to make something coherent that is also perhaps different, and more than the sum of its parts. Then outwards into different contexts and relatinships, a slice of a longer continuum, and ever becoming,”
