PERFORMANCE ART FOR THE CANVAS BETWEEN YOUR EARS LOVE ART LAB (the the Love Art Lab sound CD) is the collaborative performance artwork in sound between Annie Sprinkle, Elizabeth Stephens, and in producer/musician/artist Tom Garretson (working under the pseudonym of GUTTERSAINT).
Recorded in San Francisco, USA and Norway, the album explores love in abstractions, in tableau musical pieces, poetry, soundscapes and audio sculptures. Both melodic and rough, sophisticated and nasty – just like love. (© 2005 Provocateur Media).
