The idea of “Be My Quiet Friend” is to create cross- esthetic multimedia spectacle - concert, which is a compilation of nine songs and four interludes,
all in interaction with live visual effects, theatrical aspects, choreography and light design.

The composer Morten Olsen created a music that in its outer (sonic characteristic, instrumentation, etc.) appear as rhythmic music, but on the internal
lines (harmony - metric - melody) uses compositional techniques from contemporary classical music, mixed with various forms of improvisation.

The expression is in focus and the text universe is absurd, spectral and poetic, written by the now sadly deceased composer Morten Skovgaard
Danielsen and Morten Olsen.

The performance will be experimenting with the fusion between different art forms in the rich and innovative musical and potentially theatrical context of
the given material.

All the nine songs (created for contralto, ensemble and electronics) will be presented/staged as a separate musical numbers/sketches, still related to each
other in an abstract script, where the storytelling is quite extravert, exploring powerfully and in depth different existential and emotional states.

The music and text will be revealing/expressing a large and nuanced spectrum of different types of moods, states of mind, reactions/behaviors, going
sometimes to extremes in terms of powerful confrontation of certain subjects and artistic dynamics.
