Rehearsals For Extinct Sonorities

Rehearsals For Extinct Sonorities is an alternate aural interpretation of the masterpiece film Rehearsals For Extinct Anatomies by the Brothers Quay. Foley sounds in this interpretation are mainly recorded with a lo-fi microphone in a one bedroom apartment and are derived from everyday items. Sound sources include scissors, paper, wires, chairs, pencils, radiators, hair, glasses, knives and more. The musical score deals with the resonances and electric ghosts of the acoustic instruments used in the original, although no samples from any music were used. This material was recorded and edited starting in September 2005 and continuing to January 2006 with as many interruptions as there were months. All visuals by The Brothers Quay. Issued free with orders from Existence Establishment. Limited to a hand numbered edition of 100 copies. Printed disc comes in a clear plastic sleeve with insert. Packaged in a screened card sleeve with wax seal.
