Greetings from America,
Jonathan Schwartz and I are on the cusp of our departure for foreign
shores, and I wanted to let you know about the final details of our
10-city European film tour in the hopes that you (and all of your
friends) can make it to one of the screenings. Nine 16mm films with
live sound, minor explosions, mask rituals, and the like. It shall be
grand, indeed.
Sincerely,
Ben Russell

THE PSYCHOACOUSTIC GEOGRAPHERS
Emotional exiles from the Land of Opportunity, experimental filmmakers
Ben Russell and Jonathan Schwartz come to Europe on the first leg of
their infinite world tour equipped with 16mm films, vocal distortion
effects and optical sound tracks, these kindred spirits engage in a
kino-cartography of the audiovisual contract. Through a combination of
psychedelic cinema, mash-up animations, ethnographic mask ceremonies,
and pinhole lenses these two intrepid explorers map out a new world of
Image and Sound where vision travels in waveforms and sound flickers
like explosions in the night.
