In collaboration with production duo Nightports, Matthew Bourne is to premiere a new project at Middleton Hall in Hull on October 12th as part of the Hull City Of Culture program.

Nightports is based on a simple but unbreakable rule of restriction: only sounds produced by the featured musician can be used. Nothing else. But these sounds can be transformed, distorted, translated, reworked, processed and reprocessed, stretched, cut, ordered and reordered without limitation. The fruits of their meticulous labour with Bourne will be released as an album by The Leaf Label early next year, with further collaborations to follow.

To recreate their studio work, the live show will feature three pianos and live manipulations. This will be your first chance to hear it anywhere. Get your tickets here.
