Paintings from the Middle Ages are often used to back up research into historical performance practice, and yet they also show a world far beyond the reality of Medieval life: weird creatures, animals playing instruments, historical events from centuries before the lifetime of the artist, and combinations of instruments that defy the theoretical musical teachings of the day. 

In the Medieval Imaginarium, I use live-looping, combined with a wide range of historical instruments including aulos, bagpipes, recorders, fiddles and percussion, to explore the imaginary world conjured up by these images and sources. This page is a place for audiences at concerts to have a closer look at some of these artworks.
