Sync'd 9
On Saturday April 18th join us at the Melwood Screening Room (formerly Pittsburgh Filmmakers) in North Oakland for a night of live music accompanying local silent shorts!
The Long Hunt and Chris Cannon will each perform live original soundtracks to six or seven contemporary silent movies made by local and regional visual artists.
The participating visual artists include: Marie Anderson, Johnny Arlett, Olivia Cunnally, Noam Di Giulio, Droning Brightness, Amy Edwards, Zahra El Ansary, Luke Farkas, Kristen Lauth Shaeffer, Sarah Moore, Nasty Taxi, Jon Otte and Sobatoons!
“Chris Cannon (Primal Yawn, Business Jazz) is an audio visual artist based in PITTSBURGH, PA, USA. Writing, recording, and performing since the 90s with acts that include the JOHNSONS, SKINKS, RAW BLOW, WEEKEND PANTS, in addition to occasional deputy duty for the MEKONS, Chris has primarily spent the better part of the last decade recording instrumental music in his home studio. Influenced by vintage electronic music, library and soundtrack music, kosmische, exotica, world and rare groove, Chris utilizes synthesizers, samplers, drum machines, electric pianos, and an assortment of other instruments to create a wide spectrum of audio oddities.”
“The Long Hunt is a three-piece instrumental doom, drone psych band from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Adaptable and dynamic, the music can shift in both volume and mood at a moment’s notice. With live shows often accompanied with samples, lights, and projected images, the band strives to create an immersive experience for the audience.”
Because of the amazing support of the Carnegie Mellon University Frank-Ratchye Further Fund, this event is free to the public!
Doors open at 7pm and the show starts at 8pm sharp!
