In collaboration with Grail Moviehouse, Livingdog and Mike Johnson will celebrate the release of their new album “CRO$$” out this spring on Constellation Tatsu Records. They will perform selections from the album to serve as a live score for a debut experimental film made by Corey Parlamento. The film is a wandering meditation on landscape and objects. It plays much like the footage from a vast network of security cameras capturing candid moments of motion and stillness.
CRO$$ is the debut collaboration between Asheville, NC musicians Mike Johnson and Corey Parlamento (aka Livingdog). Each song was structured by using a different combination of acoustic and electronic instruments, field recordings, and household objects. They created fictional story lines based on photographs to dictate the direction each song would travel and then utilized elements of ambient and avant-garde music to create a sonic landscape for each image and story. CRO$$ is a collection of soundscapes that range from meditative and playful to chaotic and explosive. Out on June 11th via Constellation Tatsu Records.
