Two recent theatre works by composer
Christopher de Groot have been released as soundtrack albums on local label The
Mind Is Listening.
Dream Home
Fusing the unsettling sound world of
Lynchian suburbia with the body horror music of David Cronenberg films, de
Groot's music is filled with terror and nostalgic sadness. Mixing multiple
electric guitars, classical harps, reverb washed mellotrons, and field
recordings of bee hives with the haunting quality of a solo bass flute, de
Groot's score is a nightmare you wont want to wake up from.
Music and sound design from the theatre
show Dream Home by playwright Emilie Collyer,
performed in May at the Norhtcote Town Hall as part of the 2015 Darebin
Speakeasy season.
Persona
This score was written to accompany the
theatre adaptation of Igmar Bergman's classic film Persona, directed by Sam Barrett and performed at the 2014 MUST Container
Festival. Taking inspiration from 1950s electroacoustic tape music, de
Groot's soundtrack is a dark and immersive accompaniment for an existential
modern horror classic.
Dream Home
and Persona are available through The Mind Is
Listening.
