The Polyphonic Spree’s weird inspiration & new trippy, musical delight
1
To have lived in the early 2000s and not had some knowledge of The Polyphonic Spree is nearly impossible. Their music went beyond radio waves and seamlessly entered film and television with a big, ambitious, swirling sound. It was fresh and new, yet comforting and familiar.
If you’ve followed their career, it should be no surprise that their newest project combines musical, visual, and groundbreaking technological elements. It is a fully immersive dome theater film called Resolution: A Cinephonic Rhapsody For The Soul. I was able to speak to Tim DeLaughter, founder/frontman of The Polyphonic Spree at SXSW. The packed screenings hinted that the film would go on to win SXSW’s XR Experience Spotlight Audience Award. The conversation has been edited for clarity and length.
