Eleven Ideas About People and Stuff.
Music by Nicholas Chase, Libretto by Ann Haroun, Sherrie Flick and R'Jeenah Bonney, Film by Randall Wakerlin.

Eleven is a series of projects that explore the connection between music, audio/visual relationships and story telling. A joint production of the Musical Arts/Sound Laboratory (www.mas-lab.org) and the EGG ENSEMBLE, Eleven extends the concepts of interdisciplinary collaboration.

The project showcases the film work of award winning animator Randall Wakerlin, with text performed by Pacific Northwest author Ann Haroun, accompanied by the musical fantasy of Los Angeles composer/producer Nicholas Chase.

The Los Angeles Times writes of Chase's rave opera e1>3ktr=A, "...the wackiest show of the year" and the LA Weekly writes of Haroun and Chase's collaboration 22 (Taker of the Total Chance), commissioned by the Long Beach Opera, "...the human brain at its most imaginative." Eleven is a continuation and expansion of that collaborative relationship, drawing in artists from across the United States, including Flume Press Award winning author of I Call This Flirting, Sherrie Flick (Pittsburgh, PA), and experimental animator Randall Wakerlin (Portland, OR). Slated to premiere in 2009, Eleven brings visuals, music and text into a unified story-telling experience, exploring the narrative form through interactive surround-sound electronics, DJ turntables, improvisational performance, live musical-narration and animated film.
