An exciting and groundbreaking visual music performance with dazzling computer animation and special effects by Marjan Moghaddam & Adam Caine. Marjan Moghaddam’s live and improvised, laptop driven animations range from the hypnotic dance of materially ambiguous fluid forms to roaming explorations of dazzling architectural structures, mesmerizing psychedelic patterns and stunning visuals. Adam Caine’s music is part avant-jazz, part experimental art-rock, part new indie guitar virtuosity that explores sonic terrain reminiscent of New York's art rock heydays.
Marjan and Adams’ award-winning and pioneering visual music projects have been the official selections of dozens of international film, video and animation festivals, featured at Art Basel & the Armory show, and their recent state-of-the-arts multimedia shows have packed theaters throughout New York City.
The performance is part of the East Village Howl Festival, and titled “In the Back of the Real” after a poem by Allen Ginsberg.
