House of Scordatura: Tuned Differently. Live, Local, and Boldly Oregon.

House of Scordatura was conjured over spicy food, strong drinks, and a shared creative itch that couldn’t be ignored. Founded by Ron Blessinger, Ann Medellin, and Danny Rosenberg – three Portland artists working at the edges of music, animation, and storytelling – the idea was born from a restless impulse to make something wild, collaborative, and deeply Oregonian. We bring together original animation and experimental music, all created, composed, and performed by Oregon artists. House of Scordatura exists to amplify bold ideas, defy artistic boundaries, and share genre-blurring work with curious audiences across the state.



Gamera vs. Zigra

House of Scordatura returns to the Hollywood Theatre with a gloriously unhinged night of live music, live theater, and giant-monster cinema: GAMERA VS. ZIGRA.

We’re taking this cult kaiju classic and turning it into a full-contact performance event — part concert, part stage show, part cinematic joyride. A live ensemble performs an original score in tight sync with the film, while onstage performers, theatrical mayhem, and analog wizardry collide with the screen. Think of it as a love letter to practical effects, rubber suits, and the strange magic that happens when a movie becomes a live, breathing thing in the room with you.

If you loved TURKISH RAMBO last year, you already know the vibe: high energy, a little dangerous, and wildly fun. If you didn’t: welcome. No homework required. Just show up ready for monster mayhem, musical punchlines, and the kind of communal laughter you only get in a packed theater.

It’s Gamera. It’s Zigra. It’s the Hollywood Theatre. Come for the kaiju carnage — stay for the live score and the beautiful chaos.

Animated Oregon

Animated Oregon is House of Scordatura’s signature project – a bold and imaginative series of original animations paired with live music, all created by Oregon-based composers, animators, and performers. Each piece tells a story rooted in the spirit of our state, reflecting the landscapes, cultures, and creative voices that make Oregon unique. Curated by award-winning animator Zak Margolis, a faculty member at Pacific Northwest College of Art, the visuals are as captivating as the music, forming a rich, multi-sensory experience that is uniquely Oregon.
