Thollem Eclectric’s DoReMi AntiFA Symphony
Where history is revolution and revolution a celebration!
World Premiere!
September 30th, 2026
at The Guild Cinema in Albuquerque, NM
In the age-old tradition of American anti-fascist art, literature, performance, and cinema,
the DoReMi AntiFA Symphony is a romp through West Coast radicalism in the 80s & 90s.
Thollem conjures one of the most bizarre orchestras anyone’s ever heard to accompany
his own anecdotes from the People’s Park riots, protests at the Nevada Nuclear Test Site
(Organized by the Western Shoshone tribe), Earth First!, Guerrilla Farming, autonomous
communities, sustained encampments at federal buildings, Food Not Bombs! and more.
“Thollem is a bruising virtuoso who has deconstructed free music, classical, blues, electronic music,
prog, noise, and everything in between. His music can be playfully eccentric or ear-splitting and
abrasive occasionally at the same time.” – Brad Cohan, Bandcamp Daily
Thollem Eclectric represents a growing catalog of Thollem’s work with various electronic instruments over the years. His performances include a breadth of approaches from his various solo albums all of which are unique performances of their own including: Worlds In A Life, Electric Confluence, 13 Billion Years To Tomorrow, Hot Pursuit Of Happiness, Silver Ochre Soundtrack (for film with ACVilla), 250 Year Old Haunting (Live at the Royal Room in Seattle), Independent Fucking Radio! (Live on WFMU, KZSU and KFJC), as well as the upcoming The Light Is Real (Voices), The DoReMi antiFA Symphony and A.I.’m Real. Dancing To My Own Algorithm. Thollem’s music is inspired by his lifelong experiences as an itinerant musician as well as the instruments he has had the privilege to work and play with. Thollem has released more than a hundred albums with an array of acoustic and electric rigs, both solo and in collaboration with many great musicians on 26 unique vanguard record labels.
“Transgresses genre boundaries as much as he transcends them” – Dave Wayne, All About JazzNY
“An intense and virtuosic keyboardist” – Time Out, New York
“Thollem’s omnivorous interest in styles and format is dizzying” – Marc Masters, Bandcamp
“Bringing wide-ranging expression and invention to everything his restless, nomadic existence comes into contact with.”
– Nels Cline, Bandcamp
