DESCRIPTION:
Physicist Joe Werne and songwriter Gabrielle Louise wanted to team up and create a project that married science and music...so Joe built a nine foot tall, glow in the dark, pendulum array and Gabrielle wrote a song with lyrics inspired by the natural patterns she saw.

The story she imagined, a narrative of a widowed ballerina dancer, culminates in the concept that death is the "great equalizer." Like the principals that bring the pendulum display through cycle after cycle of repeated patterns, she illustrate that human life is but a small part of a broader universal pattern that we are all dancing in.

Gabrielle performs this version of the Graveyard Ballet in front of a live audience at Little Tree House Concerts in Lafayette, CO.

- Brian Morrato lovingly video directed this project.
- Charlie Lindsey was Joe's right hand man in his pendulum design, assisting him at every turn of the conceptualization and construction.
- Matthew Graham did an absolutely wonderful job recording the live audio on the spot, and overdubbing my brother Jonathan Sadler's beautiful marimba playing later.
- Ben Fullerton shot the second cameras and provided his excellent equipment.
