This 350yearold London Landmark Just Hosted Its First Techno Night

CNN London –

At 6pm on Wednesday evening, St Paul's, a landmark on the London skyline for centuries, completed its usual performance of Christmas carols. And an hour later, the almost 350-strong Church of England cathedral hosts its first techno night.

This historic location has hosted many great events. In Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year in 1897, Admiral Lord Nelson's year in 1806 and Winston Churchill's year in 1965, and the wedding of King Charles III and Diana in 1981. But this week as part of a collaboration between the City of London Corporation and the Fabric nightclub, which hosted Australian techno-rock artist Ry Cuming, known by his stage name. Row X, with the London Contemporary Orchestra.

“We want to bring people back to the city,” said Jorge Nieto, director of textile innovation, hours before the event. The St. Paul area is lacking in office buildings and corporate lunch spots, Nieto said. “It’s about reconnecting young viewers with the city and rediscovering places.”

The public response to the event was extraordinary. According to Fabric, 95% of the church's 2,000-person capacity was filled within three hours of advance registration (the remaining tickets sold out within minutes of the general opening), creating a waiting list of more than 4,000 people.

In the evenings, young and distinguished spectators are amazed when electric guitars, bass drums and synthesizers fill the 17th century dome. In addition to being guarded outside, the event was led by the cathedral's resident teachers - who normally lead services such as Holy Communion, Mass and Holy Communion - who wore their religious robes and didn't show much. Unlike techno concerts in general, this concert is not a bar. Although the stage is a standalone venue, it appears deceptively simple - the blue, red and orange lighting emanating from the gold leaf frame or the intricacy of the stained glass windows , which grab your attention while the music plays.

For Ry And he said that Saint Paul had no thoughts. "There's not much to reveal," he told CNN in a pre-show interview. “There used to be a place that was honorable, beautiful and majestic. People changed when they entered it. Then half the work is done.

Hosting a techno-rock concert in a protected location certainly has its challenges. The cathedral's unique architecture and large negative space posed a major challenge for Rey. "I don't think synthesizers were ever played in this building," he said. “So, ‘How did this happen? Is something bothering you?' If you play too quickly, you run the risk of picking up the note. “In this role I played in a way that I couldn't play anywhere else,” he said. “I’m going to adapt (St. Paul’s) music differently.”

An hour before the end of the show, the cathedral was in full swing, so Rei and Nieto's team had a legitimate chance to end the evening. “We did our best guessing,” Nieto said. “We were here until 2 a.m. with the volume turned down to T.”

Maybe it was the beautiful architecture of the cathedral or simply the power of the live music, but there was a certain emotion that was felt during the performance. When Ree ordered the audience to get up from their seats in the finale, we did so more than the average viewer. Guests stood up from their seats and approached the stage, some even climbing onto chairs. “Who says you can’t play techno in church?” Ray gave the audience a standing ovation.
