We are delighted to announce the DVD release of otherworldly and arresting THE ANGUILLADAE EATER / JONAS, a collaboration by core artists VERONIKA KRAUSAS (composer) and QUINTAN ANA WIKSWO (film, text, concept), with AMBER BENSON (voice) and BILL BARRETT (harmonica). "THE ANGUILLADAE EATER / JONAS ruptures the primordial mythos of women, sailors, s*x and the sea...instead offering a highly-charged, deeply connected inquiry into the legacy of exploiting ecology to indulge human gratification." http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/veronikakrausasquintanan

from the CATALYSIS PROJECTS DVD release THE ANGUILLADAE EATER / JONAS Quintan Ana Wikswo - original film and text/poems Veronika Krausas - original music BILL BARRETT - harmonica AMBER BENSON - voice In an ancient seafaring adventure, an eel priestess and a sailing man come together in an otherworldly, mesmerizing encounter with eroticism, exploitation, freedom, and ferocity. THE ANGUILLADAE EATER / JONAS ruptures the primordial mythos of women, sailors, s*x and the sea...instead offering a highly-charged, deeply connected inquiry into the legacy of exploiting ecology to indulge human gratification. Quintan Ana Wikswo's unsettlingly luminous original films were created at sites of mass animal slaughter along the desolate New York and California coastlines. Her original animated 35mm films reveal Point Dume's Paradise Cove where thousands of California grey whales were harpooned, lanced to death and flensed into oil, and Barren Island's Dead Horse Bay boneheaps where the bodies of New York City's carriage horses were rendered into glues and fertilizers. Veronika Krausas' haunting, post-apocalypic music for harmonic invokes the ancient cadences, overtones, and disharmonies of the Baltic Coast: sailor songs, pagan chants, and the sounds of cormorants and seagulls. Bill Barrett's solo harmonica creates a compelling sonic voice, simultaneously primordial and deeply modern. THE ANGUILLADAE EATER is based upon the original poems of Quintan Ana Wikswo, performed by actor Amber Benson.
