Attack!

While compiling tracks for the upcoming Imbued Vagary releases, I came across a Photo CD of images from Any Questions? 07/10/04 performance at the Music Invasion Festival.  This photo highlights (from left to right) LTJTHC and Ttam Troll.

P.S.  Thanks for Kelly Hoffman for taking this and many other photos at the show.

Any Questions? - Sharing The Plasma Pool (Live)

This bootleg video of Any Questions? - Sharing The Plasma Pool is taken from our live performance at the Music Invasion Festival (07/10/04).

We were in rare form on that day. The 9' x 12' video screen was indoctrinating the masses with our visual hallucinations. The strobe lights were pulsing at epileptic levels. The PA system was pushed to the edge of overload. MC2P4 hammered synths and video effects. LTJTHC (Tim Harrell) was thrashing away on electronic percussion and I discarded all vestiges of Matt Norcross and became Ttam Troll.

How was that for hype? Seriously, it was a great show. Our opening salvo and crowd favorite, Sharing The Plasma Pool, always set the tone for our live shows and it did again at this show. It has it all. Gas masks, blood, horrific scenes of violence projected on the video screens, and MC2P4 in his wire costume. It doesn't get much better than that!

P.S. Special thanks to Beth Ballein and Kelly Hoffman for shooting the bootleg Neo-Nazi Cam video footage. Click on the following links to also see our live versions of Lousy Human and Evolution from this same show.

Zero Müsik Research

Rising from the fog enshrouded pyramids of OBO, the original Obomatic infiltration unit formed a new collective named Zero Müsik Research. This experimental consortium of audiologists included ZeroTroll - Electric Bass, ZeroP4 - Electric Guitar, and ZeroO - Electronic Drums.

As the name suggests, the musical experiments that we conducted were completely improvised. We literally did Zero Müsik Research before attempting them.

The experiment, titled Angst, that I'm going to share with you today was recorded using live room mics at O Control Studios in Philadelphia, PA on 02/29/04. This song represents a complete departure from the usual brand of electronic music that we produced together as Obomatic and as our other current and past projects, Any Questions? and Punch Drunk. Stripped of all of our electronic gadgetry, we composed organic, nearly human music with only a bass, guitar, and drums.

The Zero Müsik Research collective was short lived and only existed for a few months in early 2004 but luckily left us a recorded history of its existence. Here is Zero Müsik Research - Angst...

LTJTHC and Ttam Troll

Any Questions? - Evolution (Live)

This bootleg video of Any Questions? - Evolution is taken from our live performance at the Music Invasion Festival (07/10/04).

We were in rare form on that day. The 9' x 12' video screen was indoctrinating the masses with our visual hallucinations. The strobe lights were pulsing at epileptic levels. The PA system was pushed to the edge of overload. MC2P4 hammered synths and video effects. LTJTHC (Tim Harrell) was thrashing away on electronic percussion and I discarded all vestiges of Matt Norcross and became Ttam Troll.

How was that for hype? Seriously, it was a great show. During this song, after MC2P4 escapes his synthesizer rig, I follow after him and drag him back out by the tendrils of his wire costume. Not satisfied, I begin to feast upon a severed head full of bloody brains and Creepy Crawlers while LTJTHC continues to propel the song forward with a pulsing beat.

Any Questions? - Lousy Human (Live)

This video is taken from Any Questions? live performance at the Music Invasion Festival (07/10/04).

We were in rare form on that day. The 9' x 12' video screen was indoctrinating the masses with our visual hallucinations. The strobe lights were pulsing at epileptic levels. The PA system was pushed to the edge of overload. MC2P4 hammered synths and video effects. LTJTHC (Tim Harrell) was thrashing away on electronic percussion and I discarded all vestiges of Matt Norcross and became Ttam Troll.

How was that for hype? Seriously, it was a great show and, to this date, it was the last Any Questions? live spectacle. However, we hope to rectify that soon. Stay tuned...

P.S. MC2P4 deserves kudos for being brave (and gullible) enough to be talked into wearing his "wire" costume and special thanks to Beth Ballein and Kelly Hoffman for shooting the Neo-Nazi Cam video footage.
