Sonic Twist’s® edgy video “That’s What That Is” highlights singer Judi Silvano’s rare ability to improvise music and words simultaneously. Guitarist Bruce Arnold initially follows her opening phrase, and then adds his own processed sounds, through the track’s many moods. For this video Sonic Twist® called in dancer Maria Mitchell to interpret the music, and she responded with her own spatial improvisations including a recurring motif of Time as she conjured up a sun dial marking the minutes and hours, underscoring the words “Moment, Now, and Before.”


The vocal becomes more intense is it goes from ruminations on Time to its relationship to identity. Videographer Michal Shapiro and Judi Silvano worked together on coordinating Maria Mitchell’s movements by literally slowing down the time in parts of the dance, and overlapping images where the vocal is highly processed. This is what makes “That’s What That Is” such a weirdly exhilarating experience.
