In Paradise Lost, the sacred meets the profane, the acoustic clashes with the electronic, and some of the earliest classical music ever written is dragged, kicking and screaming, into the 21st century.

One of the most enigmatic, disruptive, and exciting creative duos of their generation, Vessel and Rakhi Singh have created a large scale original work for Manchester Collective, a magnum opus that draws together fractured and disparate music from their respective worlds.

This project has been generously support by the PRS Foundation’s “The Open Fund”, and by the Ambache Charitable Trust.
