Description: (Image shows Sir Peter Maxwell Davies) The UK’s highest-ranking composer has joined one of the country’s leading new music ensembles and students at the University of Salford to create a unique interactive online project. Master of the Queen’s Music, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, oversaw the recording of his piece Eight Songs for a Mad King by the University’s official MediaCityUK Ensemble – Manchester-based contemporary music group Psappha – in the Digital Performance Lab at the University’s MediaCityUK building. This definitive recording has now been combined with gaming technology to produce a web-based virtual environment which forms part of The Space, an experimental digital arts media service supported by the BBC and funded by Arts Council England.
