A Unique experimental multimedia experience
No More Twist! (sound and light lie detector featuring Polly Moller & Les Hutchins)
Kwisp (Volumetric Movies: Dioramic Holo-Cinema system featuring Walter Funk)
Thickness/Monolayer (cut-up film and sound track featuring members from Epic Abridged)








No More Twist! (sound and light lie detector) is made up of Les Hutchins and Polly Moller, who have been collaborating together since 2003. They will premiere their new piece, "Inquisition", for Suspect, Examiner and Audience. As the Suspect, Moller will be attached to a lie detector and Hutchins, as the Examiner, will interpret her biometric data with music and imagery. The Examiner will give the Suspect a series of control questions, and then the Audience will present the Suspect with yes/no questions of their choice. The truth or falsehood of the Suspect's answers will determine the sounds and visuals.

Kwisp (Volumetric Movies: Dioramic Holo-Cinema system) Created by Walter Funk, an extemporaneously generated Holographic quality movies, volumetric worlds and musical dioramas are explored. Freeform and composed music integrated with true 3D movies, are seen without special glasses, with the same visual quality as a hologram. Smashing the boundaries between film, holography and live music.

Thickness/Mono-Layer (cut-up film and sound power trio)
John Reily, Eric Steinberg and Charles Kremenak have worked together off and on over the past five years in various live visual-sound performance projects. In particular, re-interpreting B-movie and art-house narrative films in the Cinematic Soundtrack group 'Epic[abridged]', Reily and Kremenak with Owen O'Toole of Wet-Gate as the abstract stained-glass-light multi projector ensemble 'Nonet'.
The current direction of their work aims to combine the operatic elements of live cinema, alchemical conjuring, and the late work of Jack Kirby's hyper kinetic cosmic comic artistry. Through their song and dance, Thickness/Mono-Layer seeks to resurrect a collective sense of child-like freedom and euphoria, as well as to awaken a sense of hope, wonder and mystery within the swell of our contemporary media onslaught.
