IOM visual music group Kitterland will create a live soundscape to accompany a silent film. Kitterland uses live loops, guitars and vocals and analogue modular synthesisers to create sonic soundscapes that move from quiet to loud and everything in between; the music created is then supported by film, projections or images. The music Kitterland make can be described as being part of the ‘slow music movement’ – things take time to happen, ideas form, develop and grow live in the moment. The silent film the group perform on the night will be picked from a resource of films made available to all as they are now over 100 years old.

Grab a ticket, it’s going to be great!
