Shutter Interface is an expanded cinema piece: a series of machinegun bursts of chromatic relationships and visual harmonics in an overwhelming montage
Paul Sharits’ Shutter Interface is a multi screen installation born of an intent to reveal the material substance of cinema in its purest form: spatially.
Formed as a means to realise William Bennett’s goal of “a sound that could bludgeon an audience into submission”

Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
Jarringly beautiful and often maniacal expression of hallucinatory and very personal visions.
No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.
