Coming in 2028
Mr&Mrs Hades
Huddled in Time’s belly
Amidst brothers and sisters
We were an original chaos - But Inside
I would dream
Envision -
and work out the math - joyously precise -
A cornucopia of gorgeous numbers,
An architecture of being
Everything
balanced
against
each other,
A delicate house of cards with the strength and resiliency to reorient, rebuild
- Adapt.
Every time a card falls
or even if the House collapses
New organisms arise, enter
the House,
build the House,
become the House
A MARRIAGE OF DEATH AND LIFE
Mr. & Mrs. Hades is a story about a photo-sensitive process told through a photo-sensitive process.
It is a hymn to photosynthesis, the means by which all life sustains itself. The hexagonal green jewel of chlorophyll is a step-down transformer that turns pure white light into sugar, and so we all eat.
This Frequency Opera is exploring the frequency of green and it is exploring the photo-sensitive process of photosynthesis by means of photography. There are several photographic experiments in the images that form the environment for the opera – the application of electricity directly onto film, photographs of light using Goethe’s color theory experiments, and pinhole photographic techniques used with a scanner, among others.

Blood&Breath
October 19th 2024
Because in the beginning
is the Word.
The animal forms around it
like a pearl.
That initial disturbance of the field
is a vibration -
folding the silence,
and the animal emanates
from that voice.
