DESCRIPTION:
Film without music. Music without film. Ripped apart at birth and cultivated in non-neighboring states. Only to be Frankensteined together with fishing wire and a searing-hot needle. Oh yes. It. Is. Alive. And now, all the striking incarnations come together in one place. One night. For your eyes and ears only.
SPLIT / SIGNAL is a unique audio-visual experience bringing together filmmakers and musicians for live collaborations, featuring THE BOOKS, ROGER MILLER (of Mission of Burma), CUL DE SAC, CASPIAN and more. Held at the beautiful, newly opened Center for the Arts at the Armory (Somerville, MA), a terrific line-up of musicians will provide the live score for original film and video projected on the big screen. This is not only an opportunity for artists from a range of backgrounds to explore a new, collective medium, but also a chance for the audience to engage in the never before seen or heard.
