RABIDT MANIFESTOR...
...a 10 minute musical exquisite corpse exploring
the lighter side of population infestations. complete
with clay, felt, cardboard, pipe cleaners, various
asundry sparkly beads and baubles, broken glass, shredded
paper, pins and needles, paint, sharpie
markers, rocks, dirt, sticks, stones, and duct tape.
eleven musicians were given one track each to record
an improvised musical commentary while watching the
mystery film for the very first time. no extravagant
orchestral maneuvers. just plain and simple straight up reactions.
the catch-- musical tracks
were recorded one musician at a time, and no headphones
were allowed. everyone had to create a single, solitary
piece of music on the spot. no clues, no hints, no
suggestions. and absolutely no idea what anyone else
had played.
in the end, all of the tracks were mixed together musically
and then added to the film. no cutting or pasting or sampling.
all of the noises represented were inspired by the actual
scenes they accompany.
