Silver Ochre

“Audiological Visualization: Together the duo weave an aural and visual tapestry to dazzle the senses.“
The Paper, Albuquerque, NM

Silver Ochre is a 31-minute surrealistic non-narrative film that pairs ACVilla’s unique contextualization technique with a soundtrack performed and recorded by Thollem. Through multiple overlaying of sonic and visual stimuli the experience is simultaneously pleasurable and challenging, encouraging multiple and personal interpretations. Silver Ochre is eternity filtered through two artists in the middle of a world on the edge. The duo’s work is “slyly sublime and beautifully brutal.” – The Albuquerque Alibi
Silver Ochre: the soundtrack is upcoming on Bandcamp.

ACVilla “invites viewers to see an artistic bridge between human’s urban developments and the natural world,” while “Thollem’s talent pushed the boundaries of melody, inviting the audience to observe and think deeply throughout the uncanny and unique auditory artwork they were experiencing.”
Lola Watts, Santa Barbara Independent
