From Paste:
Although Interpol has yet to deliver its fourth album, drummer Sam Fogarino is staying plenty busy making music. In addition to playing with his myriad bands, the Athens, Ga., resident has lent his talents to an unorthodox project: working with hometown trapeze studio Canopy to score their upcoming Fractured Fairytales show.
Tickets for the show’s three-night run (April 30, May 1-2) are on sale now, and attendees are encouraged to come dressed as their favorite fairy-tale character to watch the high-flying spectacle.
Thanks to April Moore Skelton for the tip!
Sounds kinda awesome. I hope some of our GA people will make it to the show and deliver a report!

Seriously, how do you get this kind of gig? Craigslist?
"Mini Circus looking for bored musician, preferably indie rock, with no album release date; to score local hometown trapeze show. Will literally pay in peanuts. Must have no aversions to heights, wild animals, bearded ladies or little people. Please apply at box office or with Mr. Wallenda."
Wow, I'm not feeling well and it has me in a sarcastic mood. <_<

See the post directly above yours. I think Sam is generally a part of the creative scene wherever he goes.

Fractured Fairytales
"A preview to Canopy’s show this weekend with music composed for us by Sam Fogarino, drummer for Interpol. He’s done an incredible job — you’ll hear some of his music on the video."

Sam talks about "Fractured Fairy Tales" project!
Here's the article:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up in the air
By JOE VANHOOSE
Leave it to the aerobatic artists at the Canopy Studio to come up with a new spin on some old fairy tales.
It wasn't enough to have new stories, new costumes and new moves to perform several feet above the ground. For the first time in Canopy's history, one of the group's shows will have new music.
Its own, tailor-made music to be exact.
Sam Fogarino, drummer for Interpol, worked up a complete score for the "Fractured Fairy Tales" program and came up with sounds as unique of the stories being told.
It was like no project he had ever worked on before, Fogarino said. He made plans to stay in Athens before his band takes off to tour with U2 this summer just to see how the music and performance turn out.
"I went to quite a few rehearsals and got a couple of local friends involved," Fogarino said. "We were on a little hiatus, so I just got in the studio and tried to get in the mindset of an aerobatic dancer."
These are aerobatic dancers who portray characters like Little Red Riding Hood, the Frog Prince and Cinderella, but not how they're traditionally known in their respective stories.
Like Fogarino's sounds, the action is harsh, dark and a little hypnotic at times. Fogarino gets away from the normal paradigms of his songwriting, just as the Canopy team blazes new paths through the old stories.
Learning the music and getting the costumes right are the tricky parts, said trapeze veteran Rabun Dekle. The choreographed battles, twists, bends and curls some 15 feet above the floor come rather easy.
But not that easy. Annette Byrd's role as Rumpelstiltskin is an exhausting one, she said, which involves climbing up a silk curtain, spinning around and falling in a controlled fashion and then actually walking down it.
"The silks are tough, because there is no way to rest," said Byrd, wearing a green wig cut down into spikes to keep it from getting caught in the silk. "It's a full body workout."
Canopy's version of Rumpelstiltskin is a little more, as the show's title suggests, fractured. Instead of guessing his name right, the daughter's father just lets him take her away.
Snow White has similar twists. The woodsman sent by that wicked queen actually rips Snow White's heart out.
Above her, two trapeze artists half battle and half support each other with their arms and legs on a square-shaped apparatus.
How does someone write music for a scene like that?
"It's kind of fun, actually," Fogarino said. "We'd keep an open dialogue, and they'd come back and say they wanted something a little more harsh. I was like, 'I love these ladies.' "
That love is requited, said Melissa Roberts, who is overseeing the show.
"Sam really got behind the project," Roberts said. "He totally got what we are doing. I know he's coming here for one night just to see what we've been able to do with his music."

Oh, I keed, I keed. It was just a funny picture I got from the situation. Purely sarcasm. I know he is a creative guy and has a ton of connections in a number of art realms. Everyone from Marilyn Manson to Micheal Stipe to who knows what... :D
