One of the reasons I got this thing (blog, website… thing) was to host a largish video of an opera-thing that just went down. It is called, How to Look at the Ocean (Now I am a Flower). A lot of folks were involved in making this happen, and I am happy that we can try to get this out to folks via thing.
The writing is by Michael Newton, Ted Quinlan, and myself
Video by Tyler Dorson and Will Field
Lighting by Michael Porter
Scripting and music by me
I have been working on this thing for a few years, and I think what we were trying to accomplish is a melting of multimedia into theater–a more performative opera that would put video and music into the forefront WITH the narrative… or vice versa. Anyway, instead of a babbling, I’ll give a little taste of what’s to come.
Here’s The Wrinkler, featuring Daniel “Taps Fahrenheit” Fishkin on bass guitar, Jonathan “The Doctor” Nocera on guitar, Aaron “The Wobbler” Wistar on drums, and myself as The Wrinkler on vocals and keys. Hopefully we’ll have the whole video up by the beginning of February. Happy listening.
