FAUX FILMS
Produced an event series called Faux Films which runs at Envelop SF – an intimate listening space with 32 surround sound speakers. Faux Films focuses on creating film scores/soundtracks to “movies” that have never been made out of pieced together songs and soundscapes. Faux Films asks the audience to reverse engineer the way you experience film scores by using your imagination to create a film in your head based on your sonic experience.
