about

Sean Bell presents Dowland Downloaded, an exploration of the music of the great British songwriter and lutenist John Dowland (1563-1626) through a contemporary art pop expression. What happens with the music when the renaissance lute is substituted with a DIY synth? Will it lose its original meaning and aesthetic and only serve as a fragile frame for some wacky synth-pop arrangements? Or could we discover new layers of meaning and different ways of communicating through alternative performance practices?
Armed with a self-built electric baroque guitar and a cassette player, countertenor and performance artist Sean Bell creates his own world where Dowland’s timeless texts and music can unfold.
