Music for A Midsummer Nights Dream features selections composed and produced by
singer-songwriter Mia Doi Todd from the soundtrack and score to A Midsummer
Nights Dream, a new film adaptation of Shakespeares classic play, updated to
modern-day Los Angeles. Directed by Casey Wilder Mott, the film begins its
nationwide theatrical release in Landmark Theaters on July 13th, 2018. A
Midsummer Nights Dream also guest stars Mia as Titania, the Fairy Queen,
opposite Saul Williams as Oberon, the Fairy King. Music for A Midsummer Nights
Dream includes two duets between Saul and Mia, as well as appearances by Tunde
Adebimpe (of TV On The Radio), electronic artist Dntel (of The Postal Service),
the Swedish psych band Dungen, legendary Mexican folk/experimental musician Luis
Pérez Ixoneztli, and the esteemed composer, arranger and viola player Miguel
Atwood-Ferguson (Suite for Ma Dukes, Flying Lotus, Kamasi Washington). Creating
this soundtrack and score allowed Mia an opportunity to collaborate with these
unique artists, as well as to explore a variety of different musical genres, in
the whimsical spirit of the film. Most lyrics are taken directly from the
original text of the play, though sometimes edited and rearranged. As proof of
its timelessness, Shakespeares inimitable language finds itself perfectly at
ease in this contemporary context. More than just an orchestration of the text,
Music for A Midsummer Nights Dream also takes its own musical journey and, in
the process, further widens the reach of Mias artistic explorations.
