'Hotshop' by Barry Guy

In this episode of RMC Podcast you can listen to a full live recording of the performance of Barry Guy’s work ‘Hotshop’ written for an ensemble of students from both RMC and The Royal Danish Academy of Music. The piece was premiered in Brorsons Church in Copenhagen on Friday the 4th of October 2019, conducted by Barry Guy, performed by the ensemble of student, and co-presented in collaboration with RMC, The Royal Danish Academy of Music, ALICE, Snyk and Brorsons church.

‘Hotshop’ is inspired by American glass sculptor Dale Chihuly. Guy has drawn on inspiration both from Chihuly’s work, and also from visiting his studio and seeing the amount of energy and concentration that goes into sculpting with glass. The graphic score behind the piece is divided into 12 parts, each representing a part of Chihuly’s work series with cylinders, baskets and vases.

The project was created with the kind support of Beckett Fonden and Augustinus Fonden.

Concert recording: Lars Nissen, Lars Rex Christensen and music production students from RMC.

Concert mastering: Simon Mariegaard
