Video excerpt from Hotel Pro Forma’s opera Tomorrow, In A Year
I have been a big fan of The Knife since a friend introduced me to their sophomore album, Deep Cuts, back in 2004. They recently collaborated with Mt. Sims and Planningtorock to compose music for the Danish performance group Hotel Pro Forma’s Darwin themed opera based on the book On the Origin of the Species. They are going to release the studio album of the opera Tomorrow, In A Year digitally in February followed by the hard copy in March. It should be interesting and I hope some remixes are produced, bringing some of the albums songs to the dance floor.
They released a free download of the eleven minute song “Colouring of Pigeons” this week.

The Swedish electro pop duo, The Knife, wrote music for an electro-opera about the world seen throught the eyes of Darwin. Check it out around 5:54 for classic Knife. The set design and costumes look amazing.
