Photo by Leo Mayberry Skeleton Flower , a division of Seattle’s long-running Degenerate Art Ensemble (see below), recently came out with its own compact disc, a self-titled exploration of the larger project’s musical side (see below).  Joshua Kohl, co-leader of Degenerate along with Haruko Crow Nishimura, was kind enough to take some questions.

Photo credit – Bruce Clayton Tom Have you ever wanted to be inside a Tim Burton cartoon? Would you like to have the kind of innovative dining experience where all you know is that you should expect the unexpected? Do you have a secret (or not-so-secret) interest in creepy dolls and wonder what they’re up when we’re not looking?  Then Violet’s Attic: A Grand Ball for Wicked Dolls is the show for you. The show is the latest production from the folks at Café Nordo, who’ve landed at a cozy space in Pioneer Square (just down the block on S. Main from the former Elliot Bay Book Company site) to set up their immersive dinner theater show. The setting is the titular attic, with the requisite low lighting and dusty objects. Including dolls. And you, the audience members, you’re all dolls too. And there’s an elaborate tea party that’s been devised expressly for your pleasure. Violet’s the owner of the dolls, and she’s a menacing presence, seen, but not heard. The dolls are a motley crew: a...

His latest album, Wooh Dang, out April 19, 2019 on Superpuma Records, will be Norgren’s first worldwide release.
