Mikael Jorgensen of Wilco teams up with art historian and curator James Merle Thomas (his partner in Quindar), performer and composer Nick Hallett, and guitarist William Tyler for a new project that blends Quindar’s intergalactic sonic waves with folk fingerpicking and Fred Engelberg film. Workshopped at MASS MoCA, the piece will debut at the Ecstatic Music Festival in NYC, then return to North Adams for a weekend performance.
Jorgensen, Thomas, Tyler, and Hallett, collaborating as The Trimbin Band, have been working with the Hugh M. Hefner Moving Image Archive at the USC School of Cinematic Arts to review, curate, and score the lost films of Fred Engelberg (1929-2012), a Los Angeles based filmmaker, folk musician, poet, and visionary whose projects have been lost to time. The Trimbin Band presents the first public screening of excerpts of Engelberg’s films, along with live musical accompaniment.
