Through a series of ‘moving stills’, accompanied by a live original soundtrack and field recordings, ‘Silver Ochre: Who Are US 2016’ illustrates early 21st century America captured by two perpetually traveling artists.
Electronic artist Thollem Electric and ACVilla (Silver Ochre) are in the midst of touring the US. As the duo travels around the country, they will be recording moments and places in each state, weaving the new footage into the original version of the film. With every performance on this tour, Silver Ochre will represent a greater diversity of this country, eventually interweaving aspects of all 48 states. The moving stills focus the eye on the myriad of points where people meet each other and their environment. The music evolves spontaneously, each performance influenced by Thollem’s sonic experiences in a lifetime of traveling this extremely multi-cultured country. Thollem and ACVilla will facilitate a Q & A/Discussion with the audience.
Cost: $8
