Dopey Monkey & Adrian Ortman: Situational Soundtrack

About Dopey Monkey & Adrian Ortman: Situational Soundtrack

Situational Soundtrack is an exploration into the sounds which form parts of daily life. Inspired by the likes of Brian Eno’s Music for Airports or Erik Satie’s Vexations, it considers what situational music is or could be as well as closer aspects of the everyday situations we often find ourselves in. The repetition of small routines that add up over the years, internal sporadic thoughts, feelings and monologues guiding us through the day and how our everyday consumption of music accompanies our activities and shapes our mood. Using these as a springboard for ideas, the trio have created a playlist of new music which they hope, in turn can be used as a soundtrack for someone else’s daily life.

“Listened to your performance today at Jubilee Hall Aldeburgh. Brilliant, it tickled my insides, made me laugh aloud and in other moments brought images to mind. Great Stuff.”

Dopey Monkey began in 2015 with Danielle Price and Martin Lee Thomson exploring all things tuba and euphonium in an informal concert for friends. They have since become known for their varied creative output, drawing together their backgrounds in jazz, folk, classical and experimental music, along with their curiosity for storytelling, cross arts and collaboration.

The duo was later joined by a long-time friend, Swedish composer, producer and percussion powerhouse Adrian Ortman. Together, the unlikely trio walk between modern jazz, indie and experimental music making use of song and spoken word paired with catchy melodic lines and improvisation. They have created a series of projects including “Stills” written for YABAI-FEST 2021, “Now You Know” celebrating the texts of Brian Nisbet and “Slumberous” an exploration into dreams performed in Oslo in 2022. Situational Soundtrack was developed during their time as Britten Pears Young Artist Programme Ensemble in Residence 2022-23.

Situational Soundtrack Tour is grateful to Help Musicians, Chamber Music Scotland and Denis Wick for their support.
