Ethan Marks' "Silent Scream"
Silent Scream is a simultaneous screening of four silent horror films from the 1920s, live-scored by an ensemble of soloists. The films are projected onto different hanging surfaces, dividing the space and housing the performers. Each musician is tasked with providing the score for one of the films without responding to any of the other musicians. The audience is invited to wander the space, mixing the audio and video for themselves, choosing or changing their vantage point as they see fit. Part performance, part installation, part haunted house, Silent Scream tests the flexibility of the relationship between sound, screen, and viewer by experimenting with how material can inform a musicians improvisation and the different ways a sense of ensemble can be created (or destroyed).

M A Harms is a Los Angeles based composer, instrument builder, and performer who explores the intersections between grief, gender, and sex through a combination of text and sound. Performance art is a major component of their work, as they believe that sound and visual aesthetics are equally significant within their art. M navigates literal stories and personal life events via sound practice, obscuring them to the point that they begin to bridge the gap between individual and universal experiences.
