EXPLORATIONS OF EXTRACTION AND DECAY
(a palliative song cycle for bodies and stuff)
Returns to Audium Januray 19 - 27, 2024
EXPLORATIONS of EXTRACTION and DECAY is an evening length work commissioned for the Audium sound theater in San Francisco, CA. The full work premiered in September 2023 and ran through the month.
The first installment of “Explorations” premiered in quadrophonic sound at the Milkbar in Richmond, CA in the spring of 2022.
This project takes its inspiration from traditional Fairy Tales. The tales have been refurbished and refreshed in an attempt to put a new spin on the old by reconstructing their meaning in the form of original recorded compositions. In these sonic tales you may find things such as; wolves who do not get what they deserve, spinning wheels that collide with modern machinery, and horses, chickens and witches who may be sucked down a kitchen sink drain in a matter of seconds.

The MilkBar in Richmond is an artist curated salon series, established in 2004 as an environment for the intersection of innovative, contemporary and experimental dance, music, theater, film, the written word and visual arts.
The MilkBar’s co curators are: Mary Armentrout, Merlin Coleman and Ian Winters. Our shared curatorial aesthetic produces the MilkBar salons in a vibrant and intimate forty seat venue. These salons host a dynamic and diverse range of artists creating a unique collage effect of mixed disciplines such as modern Dance, experimental film from around the world, mixed media photo installations, performance art with audience participation, and a diversity of musical acts.
Over the past 15 plus years The MilkBar has evolved into the site of dialogue between artists a swell as artist and audience while remaining focused on its primary role as studio and workspace.
