THE RESIDENTS - MUSH-ROOM

• the residents: mush-room
      (2013, cd, usa, rz201301)

The Residents have written the music for a new dance project / performance by Grace Ellen Barkey and Needcompany.

Grace Ellen Barkey: 'In the course of the preparatory work The Residents' The Third Reich 'n' Roll was lying on the table. I have often given a piece of music a central dramaturgical role: John Cage in One (1992), Sonic Youth in Chunking (2005) and Thomas Adès in The Porcelain Project (2007). I want to create a world in which all the elements - dance, images, words and music - are equally necessary. I love The Third Reich 'n' Roll for its hysterical distortion of pop music.'

The music has been released on CD and is available through the Needcompany's website.
