2008: 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.
