So my favourite human I have never met Karin Dreijer Andersson and her brother Olaf Dreijer along with those great kids from the Sims and Planningtorock made a little Opera I would KILL to see called Tomorrow, in a year based on Darwin. Making use of traditional Opera singers, Modern Singers, Karin herself with the music inspired by the sounds of the amazon Olaf collected the combination is nothing short of extraordinary.
The great thing is for those who haven't been lucky enough to make it to any of the shows that have been played all over Europe they have announced that they will be releasing a studio version of the opera the 1st of March (yay!) and they released their first single "Colouring of Pigeons" out today (double yay!)
Karin on Colouring Of Pigeons: "The title is taken from Charles Darwin's studies of pigeons, a breakthrough of his examinations, coming home after The Beagle trip, it is when when he started to discover the genetics transfered within generations. It is a track maximizing the results of his studies. I thought of the "diversity of everything" something we have discussed a lot with Hotel Pro Forma, and a non-hierarchical way of seeing things. All the small details he studied and made notes of, like a pile of ants, an ants hill. Also a feeling of seeing things for the first time, overwhelming and shaken, but not afraid."
You have to love those Swedes hey?
