The experimental project of producer Ice Truck, Snowhous blends dark moods and foreign sounds with intricate beats. Sonic explorations by Matt Dell. Is it for the club? Is anything? Is the whole world a club? Is nothing the club? Ryan Pivovar's brand of electronics features glassy synths and developed rhythms. Phi, The solo project of Philip Meyer (Chollas).

The combination of intimate moments, memories from many New York neighborhoods, and a variety of rare cinematic perspectives forms a 21st-century city symphony whose soundtrack will be provided by the audience.
