Yelling Theatre! in a Crowded Fire

It's been two years since the band MUTAYTOR put out a new CD

Last Sunday was the listening party where Buck and Atom trotted out the new mix for the band and friends to listen to

On the last two tracks a very tired artist who was leaving for Pittsburgh in just a few hours and still hadn't packed came out and created the cover live

This is it

The idea to do it this way was struck less than a week before and in the creation, it pushed me deeper than I had gone in both time and technique. Every image (there are seven composited in) where shot on Polaroid 55 film in a bellows camera older than me by many years

I built the panel in 2 days and the final gluing of the images was completed about 8AM the day of the performance. I left for the airport about 3 hours later...

I am quite proud of this one...and of them. It's their best CD to date.
