Figure 1(a)
Things have really shifted here in California, Land of the Fruits and Nuts. A magical collaboration has been taking place between our very own Mrs. The Capt'n and Gaylord of The Gaylord Rehabilitation Center. I feel a real "shift" is happening. Earthquake? I'd say tsunami, my friend. The Mrs. has been pushing the limits of extended vocal technique by singing (frighteningly beautifully) under water. What? Yes chil'rens, that is correct. Added bonus: she even look killer doin' it, OKAAY?
Gaylord, in the meantime, did a highly fruitful artist residency at Team Shredder, which included learning the lesbo-ish duet from Lakme in one day, and then singing her half while praying to the porcelain Goddess, as shown in figure 1(a.) Look who's the sniper now. Of particular note is her outfit, which included Lee jeans customized with 2 big circles cut out of the ass cheeks (chaps are so '98,) an interesting brown suede vest jacket, and knee pads. I feel that Gaylord has really turned a corner in her development as an artist.
For further details of this magical duet, plus their larger-scale interactive composition/installation in a pool in Palm Springs, please refer to Aquatic Operas.
