2nd Set
OST (Original Soundtrack) is a unique event where live improvised music meets film – short independent film, feature film and animation.
Having never seen the films previously, the OST collective lead by Canadian trumpeter Jay Phelps, is constantly on their toes as they navigate through their improvised score, while sonically complimenting the film as the story unfolds. Prepare for a truly engaging experience for both the audience and musicians alike.
