It’s impossible for me to evaluate music like this, as I rarely hear anything like it. Parts of it remind me of old Subotnik. …. I have not seen the movie since I was in high school, about 1968. I’m sure this music would be entirely different while watching the movie.

This is probably one of the best compliments I’ve received over this. The full album version is almost complete, and I’m working on syncing up the music with the film for DVD or at leat a CD-ROM film. On the album version, expect two remixes (one by Edé Arwine of {species}DROID™, one by John Stone of Mortal Pain), an album mix by co-composer Jason Crowe (16min 48sec), and the demo mix (15min 46sec).

heya rj–

i got the cd today. kewl!

i really dig yer renditions of “lycanthrothene” and “what the cat brought in”. even more psychotic than the originals. i was reaching for the kitchen cutlery by the end of the last track.

very worthy covers, with a unique twist.

D’aw! Kinda makes me feel special.

And speaking of listeners, keep in mind that This Is Where the Fish Lives has made all three tracks from The Lemon Kittens EP available for free download on last.FM.

…and, in case you were looking for “serious business music” (well, serious enough that I released it under both my own name and that of my collaborator, rather than as This Is Where the Fish Lives), I’ve recently released “Music for Un Chien Andalou” via my lulu.com account. “…Un Chien Andalou” is an over sixteen minutes long piece of improvisational music recorded using electric viola (bowed and pizzicato), voice, mic’d throat, carefully directed feedback, synthesizer, snare, and bone flute for the Dalí and Buñuel collaborative film opus, Un Chien Andalou (France, silent, 1929). This differs from the original soundtrack (Wagner excerpts selected by Luis Buñuel to be played at screenings of the film), in that it is of a similar school of industrial/noise as Throbbing Gristle and Premature Ejaculation and idea-based avantgarde punk music as Lemon Kittens as Virgin Prunes.

This mix is very rough and this release is of the single unedited track. In Spring of 2008, we’re hoping to have a remastered “clean” version of the track that is better timed with the film, as well as at least one “remix”, all for a second release, and by Summer of 2008, hopefully a DVD or CD-ROM release of the film with the new music (as the film has lapsed into the public domain [cabbage-patches]).

This guy was also the first person ever to request a free CD-R of The Lemon Kittens EP. Excellent.

Not bad for a music project that gets almost nothing in the way of promo.

Speaking of, and since it’s already free, I also uploaded The Lemon Kittens EP for free download via last.fm. This means This Is Where the Fish Lives will also be getting free Internet “radio” play via last.fm — most likely something like their “tag radio” for stuff like “sound collage”, even though there’s no collage in those three tracks (unless you count throwing in Twin Peaks samples), just cos people have this bad habit of calling something “avantgarde” or “experimental” when there’s nothing really “avantgarde” or “experimental” about it. Joyfulness.
