The Dead Texan
The Dead Texan was an ambient multimedia project consisting of sound engineer and composer Adam Wiltzie and filmmaker, composer and visual artist Christina Vantzou. The duo's only release, The Dead Texan, was released in 2004, with a subsequent three-year tour combining the album's music with visual material created by Vantzou specifically for the album. The original 2004 release was a CD/DVD package, followed by a later vinyl reissue of the LP in 2022. Given the apparent sentimental nature of the project, Vantzou has seemingly confirmed the end of the project following its first and only release.
Wiltzie is better known as one half of the ambient project Stars of the Lid. Following the release of The Dead Texan, Vantzou released a series of solo albums of ambient music composed for strings and synthesizers. The two have collaborated on other projects such as A Winged Victory for the Sullen (Vantzou is credited for the album artwork for their self-titled album), as well as Vantzou supporting Stars of the Lid during a live performance in New York City in 2016.
