Visual, set, and performance design for Lambchop’s Damaged tour brought Lambchop’s Kurt Wagner vision of a planetary stage environment for the band's 2006 European Damaged tour with the concept of “alien home movies.”
Collaborating with filmmaker James Clauer, we created surreal montages from footage of baseball games, fish, and archival Americana. These visuals were projected onto five weather balloons, each presenting its unique world. The homespun celestial experience mirrored the magical realism in Lambchop’s music. The tour was documented in the DVD No Such Silence, released by City Slang Records.
