Magnetic Personalities

Stephen Merritt and Claudia Gonson (right) of The Magnetic Fields stopped by the ASCAP offices where they met with ASCAP's Margaret Spoddig. Merritt is working on a musical adaptation of the children's book, Coraline (written by Neil Gaiman), to be presented at Brooklyn's St. Ann's Warehouse in the fall of 2006. His operatic work, My Life as a Fairy Tale, based on the life of Hans Christian Andersen premiered at New York's Lincoln Center in July 2005.
