IN SYNC: NURSE WITH WOUND, MATMOS, IRR APP (EXT), SPOONBENDER 1.1.1, and 2 or 3 more (time constraints of the cd format permitting), are all working on a 'stereo telepathy academy'-style release. the idea: the groups are each picking a favorite short film or scene from a longer film, and writing an original soundtrack. you will then buy the cd, rent the films, and sync up your cd and dvd players to experience the new audio/visual juxtaposition. the only rule for the project was that the films need to be commercially available. films, label and release date tba.
