Danny Mulhern is a composer, multi-instrumentalist and producer. He releases instrumental music and writes music for film, mostly working with small ensembles, combining contemporary classical with other genres.

Much of his recent work has been with the London Contemporary Orchestra, composing for film and on standalone artistic projects.

Since scoring the critically acclaimed Hollywood film What They Had in 2018, Danny has been examining the motivations behind his work. Singing Through others is essentially a meditation on relationships, taking its title from the words of poet and philosopher Nora Bateson, who also appears on the album.

Danny is motivated by the role art can play in our connection to meaning, and that relationships - personal and collective - are primary to this. Singing Through Others is perhaps also a reexamination (or even a lament) on the concept of an album as an artwork in 2022.
