STARRY NITE
A 35mm film performance by Roger D. Wilson with live music by Scattered Clouds

Roger D. Wilson will be presenting his new 35mm film performance Starry Nite with live accompaniment by the dark, experimental, post-apocalyptic rock group Scattered Clouds (Philippe Charbonneau, Jamie Kronick & Mike Dubue). Starry Nite will be performed on the Cinema-Trike, a human-powered film projection system of Wilson’s own invention built from an adult-sized tricycle. Wilson will be doing live manipulations on images of the night sky using mirrors, gels, lenses and crystals, while an assistant pedals the bike that drives the film through the projector. As the performance goes on, the image will continuously change, layers will be added and new textures will develop. To accompany this transformative visual experience, Scattered Clouds have collaborated with Wilson to create and perform a new 25 minute instrumental piece.
