As a composer and artist I always hope something like this will come into my life: a pro-sex, seriously-playful opportunity that merges my music training with my queer, kinky self.

'FILL THAT HOLE' is in two halves, following a realistic dialogue between a phone sex worker and caller. Then the piece repeats itself--sort of. The performers flip roles: the voice now sings all the dialogue we didn’t hear the first time through, but from the perspective of the caller. The flute also plays both roles- first the caller (on bass flute), and then the operator (C flute). Each half is a fantasy created together.

Special thanks to Anthony Green who provided the catalyst for me to message this powerhouse duo.
