shadows that in darkness dwell is a cycle of works composed for period instruments and electronics created collaboratively by composer Timothy Cooper and Ensemble 1604 exploring the life and music of the English Renaissance composer John Dowland.

Tim says:

‘I imagine the character of John Dowland, an emotional, volatile and private man with a mysterious past; as a musician working in the court of the Danish King, Dowland was also as an English spy. Much of his music is dark, shadowy and melancholic and my pieces explore and exaggerate this. The pieces are not about subterfuge but explore the very darkest depths present in Dowland’s work and life.’
