About the Program

Sandra Lockwood's performance from The Vancouver Performance Art Series.

Tonight's pieces are new songs/poems that I've been working on over the last few months, and as such, they don't add up to a cohesive 'whole.' The music is a combination of pre-recorded tracks, mixed and engineered by Bryon Low, with live vocal and guitar. I'm trying to get James Raynor to grow a couple extra pairs of arms so he can play bass, electric, and acoustic guitar all at once, but I'm not sure if he's into it. 

Pissing in a River
- a Patti Smith tune (I've always wanted to sing Patti) with a Japanese chorus by me.
- bass, acoustic, and electric guitar, percussion arranged and performed by James; chimes by Bryon.

Put on Your Best Art School Black and Your Best Abstract Expression
- words/music/wanky piano by Sandra, everything else by James

Mary Blue and other new poems by Sandra

Id in E Minor by James

The Ambassador of Sleep 
- performed with Zachery Longboy
- Grace Pettit does the flowers
- video/words/music/voice/piano by Sandra
- fretless and cellos by Mark Critchley
