NOVPAROLO
Novparolo creates cinematic scores for films which haven’t even been made yet, but which just through their sonic grace conjure a thousand images...It is chamber-synth-pop, but with gentle, futuristic electronica replacing the more traditional sounds and beats which seem only to guide and structure rather than drive the music.

LIZARD HANDS
Lizard Hands is the project of a queer guy based in the Washington DC area who creates a variety of experimental and ambient sounds that drift between melodic instrumentals and spacey drones. Sounds layered upon each other create soundscapes that evoke, hypnotize, and wonder.

THAT MAJEURE + OPTIONAL CHORAL FINALE MASSED PLAYBACK
Purveyors of uneasy listening through the deconstruction + reimagining of unpopular classics, THAT (dba THAT MAJEURE for this event) gathers DMV musicians to dissect/reinterpret Berlioz’s OPUS 15. The optional choral finale of APOTHÉOSE is fully dismembered as a massed audio playback performance for audience members + musicians alike.

I. MARCHE FUNÈBRE
II. ORAISON FUNÈBRE
