streptos music

More than just a demonstration disc on electronic music — the examples are original creations from her own works, from the best-selling “Switched-On Bach” to “Digital Moonscapes,” and contain extremely interesting theories and a new procedure for harmonic synthesis that results in sounds never heard before. (There’s an interesting article on this with a floppy disc demo in Keyboard magazine for November, 1986.)

THE RESIDENTS REVEALED! (rare photos of Vileness Fats, Homer, Hardy & Jay)

WATCH THIS IN HIGH QUALITY!

A slide show of pics from Bill Reinhardt’s summer visits to The Residents home during the production of “Vileness Fats”. Also, snapshots of Rez Hardy in Portland visiting Bill and girlfriend, Rhoda. ‘H’ wanted to see the record shops where “Meet the Residents” were being sold. (Included are a few postcards, programs and promos from the era).

THE RESIDENTS EXPOSED! (rare video of their early private lives)

Super-8 film offers a rare historical peek into the Residents private lives. Home movie (18 Sycamore St. building) shows where they lived and worked on the 1st three albums and the video project “Vileness Fats”.

This is only partial footage from the original film (more to come later). Shortly after this ‘home movie’ they started the Cryptic Corp. and moved to Grove Street. Look closely and you will see details, objects and artifacts used in their myth-making (sort of like the “Bunny Boy” promo). Of particular interest was the printing and assembly of 1000 record covers for “Third Reich & Roll”
