Hear some music you can see

What do you get when music and film collide? Small Sails, a Portland-based band that will be at Minicine in Shreveport on Sunday.

In 2005, the band performed over 50 shows across the United States and Canada. Small Sails combines interesting rhythms and original 16mm film loops to create music listeners can actually see.

"People really latch onto the film aspect. It's an expression of the way we view music," Ethan Rose, vocalist for the group, said. "The film adds a whole other level to the experience. Generally, it sets a mood."

Minicine will be an escape from traditional performances for Small Sails. The group says they prefers performing artsy cinema scene more than the rock bar scene.

"We look forward to playing in Shreveport. We've played there before and had a really good time," Rose said.

You can see Small Sails perform Sunday at Minicine, 824 Texas Street, Shreveport. Doors open at 8 p.m. and there is a $5 cover charge.
