The project was born out of Liam's interest in exploring how the listener's presence impacts musical performance. In the Baroque period, live music happened in a varied assortment of domestic, institutional, public and private spaces. Nowadays, Baroque music is performed almost exclusively in concert halls, which create a rather one-way relationship between musicians and their audiences. As part of his residency at the V&A, Liam wanted to give people the opportunity to experience the vibrancy, intimacy and expressivity of Baroque music from a variety of angles, both historical and new.
