By special request!
One day, upon arriving at rehearsal, Hubie informed us that we were going to be improvising music for a film his/our brother Paul was making. Sounded like fun to me! Four microphones were duly set up and LOOB proceeded to jam for a non-stop 45 minutes (maybe more, the tape stopped before we did!).
Below: the three types of microphones used to capture the "Scapegrace" soundtrack, according to Ted's notes (left) Remember these beauties?!!!
We gave a copy to Paul and (presumably, as I've never seen it!) on to the film's soundtrack it went. It features mostly made-up-on-the-spot music though it does includes a floating jam we used to go into from time to time (Ted called it "the art rock jam") as well as themes from "Sailing" and an obscure Mike tune "Jack On The Road". (I remember Frank being disappointed that we "fell back" on stuff we already had written!).
"Scapegrace" is, to this day and so shall remain, the only piece of music I have been a part of that I listened to under the influence of a hallucinogen.....and hearing to it last night was giving me flashbacks!!! Frankenhubie! Aaaaaggggggggh!
Paul......if you're out there....as it was then, these 47 minutes are for you! (and I'd love to see the movie one day, would love to know what sections of music you ended up using!).
