Electric Stage

Dom Coyote says “electronics, acoustics, voice and story collide” in his compositions for theatre. His new album spans 10 years of work and includes music from productions of Dawn King’s Addictive Beat (the ethereal, insistent Sleep Dancers), Carol Ann Duffy’s Everyman (What’s God Like, a Jacob’s Ladder-inspired loop) and Jude Christian’s Hamlet (the initially chilly Ophelia, which warms up with sounds of the natural world). It’s spellbinding stuff – available on Bandcamp.
