Lalage is the duo of poet, librettist, playwright, screenwriter, and singer
Lara Candland and Canadian-American composer/performer
Christian Asplund. Co-founders of Seattle Experimental Opera, as a team they have composed
A Girl’s Body at Crepuscule,
The Archivist,
Floralesque,
Liquid Girls, and
Sunset with Pink Pastoral. Lalage layers text, drones and live sampling, using only vocal sounds made by Candland during their performances. The naked human voice is heard, transformed into celestial chorales, words are understood, then reduced to shimmering shards laced with new meaning.
