The Stars Come out At Night, a compilation of pieces created by Portland Night High School (PNHS) and Meek Technical School students who study music recording (for school credit) and creation technology at the Hollywood District's nonprofit Old Library Recording Studio. Stars, the first recording released by Old Library, is a joy to hear, presenting a wild diversity of student projects, from techno to folk, to touching testimonials from the musicians about the impact that the teen-oriented studio has had on their lives. My favorite tracks include the electro-food-thrash "Taco Taco" by PNHS pupil Stitch White, and the album-closing experimental folk of "Piano & Dulcimer Improv." Old Library Studio mastermind Noah Kleiman explains the piece, "That is me playing dulcimer. I was teaching [student] Stanley Waters how to improvise. He claimed not to know how; he's basically a classical pianist. He has very little interest in improvisation; it's not part of his musical identity. So I challenged him to join me, by playing piano on the piece."
