Jerome Bryerton has been working as a free improvising percussionist for the past eight years. In this time, he has worked with some of the most respected players in the world. In October he was once again acquainted with Berlin multi-reedist Wolfgang Fuchs and San Francisco bassist Damon Smith; presenting two concerts as well as recording on CD (balance point acoustics). In September he worked with bass saxophonist Tony Bevan; with Bevan, he performed in San Francisco with local improvisers Scott Looney and Damon Smith. Last winter Jerome toured in Paris and Monacco with Chicago improvisers Carol Genetti and Andrea Polli. These performances were aligned with the multi media festival I.S.E.A. as, well as the Monacco dance forum. Jerome´s style strikes a resemblance close to the likes of European percussionists Paul Lovens, Paul Lytton, and Le Quan Ninh. Intent on using multi ethnic percussion as well as western percussion - simultaneously furnishing them with an odd assortment of orchestral metal and Chinese cymbals/gongs. Jerome believes that it is necessary to keep intact many of the European aesthetics revolutionized in the sixties and seventies; but which is also crucial is the synthesis of wit and experience of a modern American improviser. As a side note, Jerome has also worked with the following people: trumpeter Axel Dörner, reed player John Butcher, guitarist Henry Kaiser, reedist Peter van Bergen, reedist Jack Wright, cellist Fred Lonbergholm, trombonist Jeb Bishop, and also bassist Kent Kessler.

Kari Houghtaling, 25, and Liz Smith, 26, directed, produced, and acted in a full-length remake of the 1990 holiday classic Home Alone, and play nearly every character themselves.

Aside from cameos by Smith's parents and a friend at the Milwaukee International Airport, the two alone play every character from the original movie. Using strategic camera angels and costume changes the pair was able to re-construct the film almost in its entirety.

The duo filmed on location in Guttenberg, Iowa during the Polar Vortex of 2014, the coldest weekend on record for the year. They used an old digital camera for recording and have been editing the footage in iMovie for most of this year. The frigid temperatures made it difficult to keep the 2007 Cannon Powershot running for outdoor scenes.

The movie would have been impossible without the help of the generous small town Iowa community. Several local businesses and a local church allowed the actresses to use their location for filming. The Guttenberg Police Department even provided a squad car with flashing lights for the Wet Bandits' arrest at the finale of the movie. The title of the remake, Adobe Solo, was devised using synonyms for the original inspiration, Home Alone.
