Residents
Strange Culture Rivers Of Hades/haeckel's Tale
Residents music from 2007: Strange Culture (OST): In 2007, Director/artist Lynn Hershman-Leeson heard of a strange
situation of an artist being arrested as a bioterrorist due to the fact that his "art" used harmless mold. She gathered
a number of friends to make a film to bring more attention to the artists plight. Among the friends were Tilda Swinton
and The Residents who had worked with Ms Hershman on her previous film, Conceiving Ada. The Rivers of Hades: An aural
art piece, Chaos Is Not Just A Theory, was written by The Residents in 2007 to accompany the release of The Residents
toy figures designed by Steve Cerio. The sound installation was not included in the final gallery presentation, however,
and the essence of the much larger project was reduced to this piece, The Rivers of Hades. Haeckels Tale: The Showtime
Channel has a long running horror TV series, Masters of Horror. The season included a Clive Barker story, Haeckels Tale.
Director, John McNaughton (Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer), was employed to oversee the project. McNaughton called
in The Residents to score the film after having worked with them on a previous film, Condo Painting. For unknown
reasons, the score was not used for the broadcast. Of these three 2007 projects overseen by Charles Bobuck, only The
Rivers of Hades has been released on CDr in an extremely limited fan edition. This is the first release of Haeckels Tale
and Strange Culture on CD.
