I’m glad to report that the era of terrible Residents live videos is OVER! I think I’ve talked about it before, but for the longest time, it seemed that we were doomed to not have a good document of a Residents’ live…
This is a piece I did out of loops from Snakefinger‘s “8 1/4”, itself a reworking of themes from Nino Rota‘s score for 8 1/2. The version of “8 1/4” I used was from the Live At The Vic album. Each loop is the…
