NO MORE TWIST! & KONGRAD SPRENGER
NO MORE TWIST!
After collaborating in different ways since 2003, Charles Celeste Hutchins and Polly Moller decided to make their partnership official, becoming the performance art duo No More Twist! They have played live on KFJC radio and at the Edgetone New Music Summit. Charles Celeste Hutchins is a Californian abroad, testing Philip K Dick’s theory that once you become a Berkeley radical, you can never leave. He explores issues of regional identity, plays music, goes to school and has telepathic conversations with an alien satellite orbiting the earth. Polly Moller is a flutist, vocalist, and composer equally at home in the worlds of free improvisation, contemporary composition, and rock, performing with Reconnaissance Fly, ReCardiacs Fly, and Ghost in the House and creating sound-art rituals based on natural phenomena and the Western occult tradition.
