The Musical Underbelly

July 8th, 2011 · No Comments

In 2007, I was an artist in residence at NYC’s venerable downtown theater Dixon Place. I put together a program of musical curiosities, based on similar shows I’d done for the INFO FortFest and the Fortean Times UnConvention.

The program included music by Rameau’s Nephew, Lewis Carroll, and the Count of Saint-Germain; an odd tune by the Rosicrucian and sex magick pioneer Paschal Beverly Randolph; Rosemary Brown’s channeled Liszt; a Lawsonomy hymn; music from the Masons and Oddfellows; a Hungarian Esperanto cabaret song; Athanasius Kircher’s realization of the music of the spheres; and more. I was joined by violist Corrina Albright for the first show, and David Gold for the others.
