Ciao,

We are most excited about our participation in FLEFF this year. Last year
Peter Dodge and I really enjoyed our collaboration on "Man with the Movie
Camera," and Robby Aceto was involved with a different silent movie score
with Judy Hyman and Jeff Claus. This year Patty Zimmermann had the idea to
add Robby to our duo, and we are all thrilled to be working together on the
movie GRASS which we look forward to performing with on Sunday evening April
6. We will be doing a totally improvised sound track to this amazing 1924
silent film made in Persia (now Iran) about a biennial migration of 50,000
people of the Bakhtiari tribe and their herds of goats and cattle as they
forded wild rivers and crossed snow-covered mountain passes with men, women,
children and animals. Our instrumentation includes electric cello (with
looping and effects), electric and acoustic guitars with looping and
effects, trumpet, vocals and various percussion instruments...We hope you
will come and check it out!

Chris White, cellist
