The recording artist
and songwriter who has released several albums and best known for his witty
satirical lyrics and chilling gypsy violins and Celtic rhythms, Voltaire will
be making his first stage appearance in Honolulu on Friday, July 17 at NEXT
DOOR (43 North Hotel Street) for CAMERA OBSCURA’S second annual theme party
“PIRATES AHOY.” ....
....
Voltaire, whose music
is deeply rooted in European folk music, speaks of love and most often, the
loss thereof with the added twist of how best to seek revenge on the ones who
have hurt you. He explores and reveals
those moments of vulnerability most would rather not discuss and exploits with
childish abandon those fleeting streaks of cruelty we all feel but choose not to
act upon or even mention.....
....
The multi-talented
Voltaire is not only a musician, but a director/animator specializing in
stop-motion animation. Inspired by the films of Ray Harryhausen (Jason and the
Argonauts, the 7th Voyage of Sinbad), Voltaire began animating at
the age of ten. Eventually piercing together snippets of information from
fanzine, he was able to teach himself how to make foam rubber animation models
and animate them with fluidity and realism. The films of his childhood landed
him his first directing job in 1988. That project was the classic MTV ID called
“MTV-BOSCH.” The stop-motion tour of the Hellish “Garden of Earthly Delights”
went on to win several awards including a broadcast design award and helped to
establish Voltaire’s style of animation. ....
....
For Goth’s sake, he
released books “What is Goth?” and “Paint it Black,” a Guide to gothic
homemaking, among others. His gothic darkness, baroque lushness and whimsical
surrealism have been seen in a score of television commercials for clients such
as cartoon network, USA and the SCI-FI channel. ....
....
Voltaire’s talents
doesn’t end here. In March 2004, Voltaire started talks with a Hong Kong based
company called “TOY2R” and plans were made to design a keychain figure of DEADY
from his DEADY Comic series. In July, the official DEADY 2-inch Qee made its
first appearance at the San Diego Comic Con. Voltaire and TOY2R have been
working on putting out toys together since. ....
....
Voltaire’s visual
quality of his performances is not surprising. His live shows, whether solo or
with his skeletal orchestra are highly theatrical- full of props and stories. ....
....
Voltaire continues
writing, recording and performing music, while working on occasional comic
books and designing toys. After ten years of releasing CDs through Projekt
Records, his latest album is his first self-released studio album. “To the
Bottom of the Sea” which tells the tales of piracy, sea monsters, peasants
uprising with a gypsy tinker and his tumultuous journey “from the mountains of
Vorutania” to the “bottom of the sea.”
