Opening Night
is a collection of instrumental music composed for the opening gala of the New Theater Hollywood by Danish composers
MK Velsorf
and
Aase Nielsen
. A cycle of minimal pieces for e-guitar, e-piano and backing tracks, the music was performed and recorded live from the stage balcony during the dress rehearsal, arrival of the guests and between speeches throughout the night. The music is patient, minimal and groovy -- consisting of sparse guitar vamps, drum and synth loops, it establishes a mood, or a tone: one of sun-soaked dreams, ecological dread and never-ending anticipation.
Opening Night
evokes the environmental furniture music of
Erik Satie
, as well as the melancholic instrumentals of
Arthur Russell
, the procedural TV score of
Mike Post
, and the sleazy atmospheres of certain
Michael Mann
films. Designed to weave in and out of the listener's consciousness,
Opening Night
is light in feel yet with a deep pull, breezily conjuring feelings of banality, pleasurable dissociation, and eerie repetition. The listener is invited to get in the car and stay for a while. The New Theater Hollywood is a performance space run by artists
Calla Henkel
and
Max Pitegoff
, housed in the historic 49-seat 2nd Stage Theater in Hollywood's largely defunct Theater Row, conceived as a space to develop and stage original theatrical productions in the crosswinds of performance, literature, contemporary art, film and television.
