2005: He Said It by Gertrude Stein (short)
Gertrude Stein's short play about the ethical discomforts of marriage, performed on a broken clavichord, steam kettle, and computer.
2004: The Oprichniki
A site-specific performance inspired by the life and work of Sergei Eisenstein which combines an audio world experienced through headphones with live, silent actors. The Oprichniki is set in a loft in a dark and magical Brooklyn, where a filmmaker's activities are attracting increasing attention from the half-human "Oprichniki,"a government organization named after Ivan the Terrible's secret police. After his mentor is murdered, he sets out to capture one of the Oprichniki and make a new kind of film.
2004: Days of Rage
An audio piece which combines headphones, speakers, and live piano. Days of Rage follows several would-be activists in present day New York as they try to orchestrate a contemporary equivalent to the Weatherman's 1969 "Days of Rage" Chicago riot. Strange and surreal, the narrative explores political alienation, the ethics of violence, and the distance between the sociopolitical climates of the sixties and today.
2004: Subway Dr. Frankenstein
(short) Florists, Bhuddists and Masochists conspire to skip work and listen to monster radio. A live opera for three voices, one computer, and several pieces of pie.
