I made the video with scenes from <i>Lot in Sodom</i> (1933), an early experimental "talkie" (there is no recorded dialogue, only a score) which is now in the public domain. I used all the scenes with Lot's Wife, focusing on her story.DISCOGRAPHYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06017336994231794576noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674672219634010218.post-39817476263462189472007-08-16T10:30:00.000-07:002010-05-12T16:19:05.136-07:00NotesAfter a while of making music I end up accumulating odd and ends that never made it onto the album in production at the time. These tracks never made it out of the "sketches" stage into a form that fit with the rest of the album build.<br /><br />This collection is a gathering of these orphans into one group. On the cover I list when each was made - like, what album it is coincident with. If you're familiar with the work you can probably hear and place them in time as well. I think this is most evidently the case with the brief "auto" series that were made while the album <i>Automotiva</i> was in production. These little snippets sound like "From That Time and Way of Thinking" to me.<br /><br />Anyway, the average duration is 2:43, and half of the tracks are under two minutes. Which is to say that these are small ideas. Some of them are just experiments, like "Holding Back The Years" where I try to have my computer sing, or "Body Movin'" where I try to cram 4/4 lyrics into a 3/4 waltz meter. For most of the short ones, it was just enough to establish a groove and then end the piece, they don't really develop past that. A few feature improptu recordings by friends of mine that were around and were kind enough to give me something to work with.<br /><br />These are little stunted things, or audio equivalents to doodling in the margins :)DISCOGRAPHYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06017336994231794576noreply@blogger.com0
