An unexpected pop music spectacle by reclusive singer, songwriter, and pianist Francis Farewell Starlite
Reclusive singer, songwriter, and pianist Francis Farewell Starlite is currently in residence at EMPAC creating a new pop music spectacle, The White Room. The White Room references the small area used by NASA astronauts to access spacecraft. In this room, astronauts make final preparations before entering the spacecraft such as donning parachute packs, putting on helmets, and detaching portable air conditioning units.
Starlite's single vision and explosive live performances have drawn comparisons to David Byrne and James Brown, among others. Last year, he toured the US with rap superstar Drake (at his personal invitation), as well as opened for MGMT, Ke$ha, La Roux, and Mark Ronson.
