Here is a live video from Alarm Will Sound‘s 1969 show at the Carlisle Theater in Carlisle, PA, performing my arrangement of Revolution 9 by The Beatles. This was a great show, everything went pretty smoothly and the sound balance worked out very well.

Unsurprisingly, I was a huge Beatles geek growing up, so it means a lot to have so many of my friends performing in my interpretation of perhaps the weirdest pop song ever. FYI, that’s our own Gavin Chuck doing the main speaking part (“number nine…”) and Courtney Orlando doing Yoko’s part at the end. I’m the guy doing all the screaming and baby noises. :)

What happens when bread meets crust,

orange meets peel, blood meets skin?

What contains the constant meat roar beneath the surface?

Sometimes your pulse will wake you,

punching your skin visible to the eye.

Do you consider it yourself

or the phantom-works of your rebel insides?

An Experiment:

Take a finger and thread a single strand of hair around it.

With the power of your arm, yank it out of your head.

Eventually it will loosen from around your finger and fall to the floor

– how long do you think it will be until you forget about this lost piece of hair?

Who owns your heart?

I do.
