Seances to explode in four dimensions…

OK so slight exaggeration. In reality I’m happy to reveal 6 videos are completed for the second Severed Seance System, about half of an hour long broadcast. This despite being holed up in a apartment kitchen while the studio is renovated. All going smoothly I hope to have the entire hour presentation ready to perform early in 2024. The seances present newly reconstructed (AI!) versions of Severed Heads music from 1982-84, using advanced tools to disassemble the originals we digitally backed up in 1985. You can see the first one here.

When it’s ready we sell tickets on BandCamp and then stream the show live on their video service. This is a more practical way to reach a live audience than flying across the planet and paying $5000 to the US Government for visas (even when offered more than $10,000USD for a show we don’t make enough).

Here’s some stills from the completed songs being performed. I think 5 more will soon be ready.

Adolf A Karrot? has already been put on YouTube as a taster for the show.
Houses Still Standing gets a new montage of car crashes and crushers. Rebuilt from master tapes.
Piggy Smack was first recorded in the early 80s but ended up on a much later LP – this is the original.
More No was a track that didn’t make it onto Since The Accident – well here it is ready to go.
Lower Than The Grave has been completely rebuilt from the 1982 recording with new guitar parts to be performed.

The Ant Can See Legs is also ready to roll with a new video but this is performed live so no still image is appropriate. The other tracks are still a bit fluid…
