The Open Door Orchestra (ODO) is a
revolving ensemble of players from around the world that
utilizes an array of instrumentation and contemporary
influences to create timeless music. ODO artistically blends
musical styles, taking the listener on an ambient, avant-garde,
world beat journey. Musical director Shannon Michael Terry
founded ODO in 1999 in Los Angeles.
“ODO was created as an ever-expanding
music and sound experience. The music will always grow
and change. The way I see it the OPEN DOOR ORCHESTRA
Is as an empty canvas of sound possibility waiting to be
filled by an always changing ensemble of musicians sound
artists and poets, it is a production concept that will last
a lifetime. I am grateful to express my music and sound ideas
with a live organic ensemble.”
“My main interest is to bring ancient
and new instruments together on one stage, to hear beyond
the confines of traditional music structures. I’m interested
in sound colors and how they work together to create the
overall environment and conceptual field.”
