I wanted to post some good linkage today, but I didn't spend much time online this week to discover or look for inspiration.
That stated, one of our very favorite bands has collaberated on an opera and you can listen to the entire thing online FOR FREE right HERE. It is a, hrm, modern opera. I absolutely adore the result and listened to it twice today.
'Tomorrow, In A Year' is a collaberation between The Knife, Mt Sims, and Planningtorock. From here:
"Commissioned by Danish performance group Hotel Pro Forma to write the music for their opera based on Charles Darwin and his book ‘On the Origin of the Species’, The Knife decided to make this a collaborative process, working with artists Mt. Sims and Planningtorock for the first time, to capture the huge width of the Darwin and evolution theme. They extensively researched Darwin related literature and articles, with Olof attending a field recording workshop in the Amazon to find inspiration and to record sounds."
