For the first time at any of Edinburgh’s famous fireworks displays, Edinburgh’s Hogmanay fireworks will be choreographed to a score written and designed for the occasion.

New producers of Edinburgh’s Hogmanay, Underbelly, who produce the event on behalf of City of Edinburgh Council, has commissioned Scotland’s sound of the future, the electrifying Niteworks, and the award-winning film and theatre composer and sound designer, Dan Jones, to create an epic soundscape to the midnight fireworks

The soundtrack to the extended fireworks display, designed by Titanium, will feature several well-loved tracks from Niteworks latest album shaped and developed into a single 9 minute work which evolves with light and shade and progresses to an exciting, epic conclusion. The tracks from NW include Beul na h-Oidhche (Gaelic for the beginning of the night), Coming Down (Anais Mitchell cover), Maraiche (featuring Kathleen MacInnes), and Eilean (Gaelic song about Skye).

Charlie Wood and Ed Bartlam, Directors, Edinburgh’s Hogmanay said: “This is probably one of the most exciting things to happen to fireworks in Edinburgh since the first recorded firework was set off at Edinburgh Castle in 1507. Those attending the Street Party, Concert in the Gardens or Ceilidh under the Castle will be treated to an exceptional sound and light spectacle. Niteworks, Dan Jones and Titanium are mighty individually but as a trio they are creating an epic midnight moment for those at Edinburgh’s Hogmanay to enjoy.”
