LIVE FROM THE SURFACE OF THE MOON

An Audiovisual Journey through Space and Time

A Mix of Video Footage, Live Animation and electronic Sound Landscapes
takes the viewer on a humorously bizarre and surrealistic journey about new
and old theories of our the Moon's mysteries. A small animation set,
inhabited by "lunatics", is the main scene of this audiovisual performance.

A live video broadcast from the surface of the moon....

"Unlimited 23" is the first full-length documentary about the Music Unlimited Festival, one of the most renowned European festivals for jazz and improvised music, which is held annually since 1987 in Wels, Austria. The film, commissioned by Kulturverein Waschaecht, the organisers of the festival, is dedicated to its 23rd edition as of 2009.

That year's programme was curated by the Japanese-American avant-garde musician Ikue Mori. That year, Wels became the meeting place for many acclaimed members of the international improvised music scene such as Fred Frith, Chris Cutler, Zeena Parkins, Phil Minton, Sylvie Courvoisier and Lotte Anker, with a notably strong contribution from female performers. Several projects were formed especially for Wels and performed alongside the existing bands like Speak Easy, SPUNK and Phantom Orchard Orchestra.

The film switches from fragments of all the sixteen concerts of the tree-day festival to numerous interviews with the organisers and musicians, who talk about their projects, improvisation, inner limits of their music and, of course, the unusual, almost homelike atmosphere of the festival. The music played is unique and diverse: from the opening performance of elaborately constructed John Zorn's Cobra – to the cheerful closing done by the Dutch ex-punk band The Ex, who celebrated in Wels their 30th anniversary.
