new project
Heather and I have been working on a new duo project, all with the aim of live theater performance. It's a big project, starting from nothing, with big big ideas. It's music, leaning towards theater.
Heather has lovely ideas of opening a grand piano lid to a spotlight on a dark stage with the sound of fluttering electronic quail in the distance, leading to sparse Satie-like melody lines, slightly processed, distressed. It's about air, space, clean-lines, breathing, little sounds, and cubes. Video projections start, little pulses of imagery that bounce off of our white Heidi Slimane designed costumes (hey, we can dream). Images and sounds that suggest, point, but never overwhelm.
It's so much fun, and we're not rushing, we're working a lot, but only keeping the things that feel right and have the texture of cold water.

I don't understand, in this era of $2k cocktails, why there are not more patrons of the arts. I wish I were wealthy enough to fund your performance. It sounds like the beautiful execution of a beautiful concept.

Do you hlready have a theatre booked? If you seriously want one, let me know. The theater company I work with could be perfect.
