SPLIT / SIGNAL
Silent Film / Scored Live

Film without music. Music without film. Ripped apart at birth and cultivated in non-neighboring states. Only to be Frankensteined together with fishing wire and a searing-hot needle. Oh yes. It. Is. Alive. And now, all the striking incarnations come together in one place. One night. For your eyes and ears only.

SPLIT / SIGNAL is a unique audio-visual experience bringing together filmmakers and musicians for live collaborations, featuring THE BOOKS, ROGER MILLER (of Mission of Burma), CUL DE SAC, and CASPIAN. Held in the beautiful, newly-opened Center for the Arts at the Armory (Somerville, MA), an exceptional line-up of musicians will provide the live score for original film projected on the big screen.
