Some music you have only ever listened to alone. Headphones, late, usually on a night when something had gone wrong and you needed a room built by someone who understood without asking. It never occurred to you that several thousand other people were doing exactly the same thing.
Olafur Arnalds writes for piano and strings and then runs it through electronics, which on paper sounds like a compromise and in practice sounds like weather. He built a pair of self-playing pianos, driven by software he wrote, that respond to what he plays live — so the instrument answers him on stage, and no two nights resolve the same way.
The Wiltern is a 1931 art deco theatre with a painted ceiling. People go quiet in it without being asked, which is the correct and rare condition for this.
Friday, November 13. Seven p.m. 3790 Wilshire Boulevard. The private thing turns out to have been a shared one the whole time.
