February 24 Cartunz and Hooliganship of the Good Kind

Combining visuals and music as a form of creative communication is not new. In France in the 1700's a keyboard instrument was developed to play visuals and music together. In the early 1900's, the Society of Prometheans in New York collaborated on audio-video composition, resulting in Thomas Wilfred's Clavilux instrument. Jump 90 years and you have Advanced Beauty and Hooliganship's Cartune Xprez in Portland. They collaborate with musicians, including themselves, to produce animation. Tonight filmmakers E*Rock, Hooliganship, Takeshi Murata, Bruce Bickford, Amy Lockhart, Barry Doupe, Lief Hall, Peter Burr, Josh Mannis, Adrian Freeman and Hooliganship collaborate with musicians and turntablists E*Rock, Hooliganship, the Gay Deceivers, Nollifur and Beyonda. If you have some red-blue 3d glasses, throw them in your pocket as some past Hooliganship animations were made with that in mind. At Holocene. 9PM on $6
