The nomadic videos of ACVilla take us through doorways in the Rustbelt, into a spider’s life at a rest stop, past murals in the Southwest, among other visions she’s found along her peripatetic life. Thollem provides electric eclectic sonic interpretations with the one of its kind AO 44 made of re-purposed Hammond M3 organs.

Thollem (US) has been traveling perpetually throughout North America and Europe for 7 years, collaborating with perhaps thousands of diverse artists in this period; a random selection includes Nels Cline, Ava Mendoza, Brian Chase, Sara Lund, Damo Suzuki, Jad Fair, Mike Watt, Greg Saunier, John Dieterich, William Parker, Pauline Oliveros, Martha Colburn, Matthew Barney. Signal to Noise magazine marvels, "It seems beyond the capacity of one human being to contain so much densely-packed creative energy".
ACVilla has been traveling perpetually for many years now throughout North America and Europe documenting artists work and captivating scenes, seeing and listening to Life in new and unique ways.
