Like his previous opera Anatomy of Melancholy™ (mmv), this one is an open-source, scaleable, Do-It-Yourself opera where the live vocalists are singing the parts they hear over their iPods, as they did in Anatomy, resulting in Bargsten’s signature sound: a sort of multi-temporal blend of minimalism and modernism, live unadorned vocals mixed with electronic ambience and occasional interruptions by intricate rhythmic processes. Also like Anatomy, BEEST OPERA™ incorporates live video manipulation with a theatrical musical experience. Unlike its predecessor, the electronic score of BEEST OPERA™ is an asynchronous and collaborative mashup of a musical vocabulary distributed online, mixed live and transmitted from a number of artists around the globe. The composer’s interest in digitally constructed, networked experiences resulting in some form of musical theatre is further explored and given a concise and elegant shape in this new work.
