Wiltzie and O\u2019Halloran were commissioned by Manchester International Festival, Rambert, Brisbane Festival, Hong Kong New Vision Arts Festival, Sadler\u2019s Wells, SMG Live, Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmed Cultural Centre (JACC) and Karl Sydowto to compose <em>Invisible Cities<\/em> as a 90-minute score for the multimedia theatre production inspired by Italo Calvino\u2019s 1972 epic novel of the same name. Wiltzie commented on the process:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cFour months is not a lot of time to create 90 minutes of music for a production using classical theatre, dance, &amp; high res video mapping on a stage the size of 2 football pitches. It was a pleasure to work with 59 Productions, unlike other producers, they left the micro-managing at home, and let us get on with it. Early on in discussions with director Leo Warner it was realised that the human voice would take a central role in the score as it was essentially the only instrument we could see evolving over 600 years with a storyline that would not have the listener screaming \u201cits Zimmertime\u201d\u2026,\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Invisible Cities<\/em> is set for release on February 26th through Artificial Pinearch Manufacturing and ahead of it A Winged Victory for the Sullen are enticing us with the first single, &#8216;Desires Are Already Memories&#8217;.
