![]() It all comes together so well, especially on a song like “Vermicular Asphyxiation.” Please discuss the musical approach to the EP. There are some significant melodic developments here as well. The EP is undeniably Blotted Science, but you’ve added some elements, like keyboards and atmospheric effects in the context of a grander musical scope. Any more and my head would have exploded. A full CD would have been nice, but for all the extra work involved, 24 minutes was about all I could take. We had something like 15-20 bug movies to choose from, so I narrowed it down to the ones that worked best as possible “songs” that fans could relate to. Yeah, it was a lot more work than just writing “songs,” but it was something that we wanted to do. Spastic Ink had written and recorded “A Wild Hare’ which was a filmscore for ‘Bambi’, and ‘The Cereal Mouse’ which was a filmscore for ‘Charlotte’s Web’, so why not score the whole Blotted Science CD to bug flicks. we’d go the more creepy route and went with the bugs concept. Rather than go with what everybody else does with more skulls, witches, dragons, death, etc. After The Machinations of Dementia was released, we wanted to keep things along the same lines of gore and the scientific element. Please discuss your hatching of this idea and some of the finer details of the concept.Īll 24 minutes of the EP were written as a film score to four bug movies. This is also a concept EP about insect society and it certainly does have a film score feel to it, which would make sense since the music serves as accompaniment to the “bug movies” that can be seen here. We put the music together so that it could stand on its own, but when you “see” the music it’s great getting such positive reactions. Really, the reaction could not be any better. I wasn’t sure if we’d get shot down because of all of the bugs and all, and people would think “What the hell is all this bug crap about?!” But when the CD was released, fans took to the music, and once the movies that we synced to were revealed, the whole thing just explained itself, and it’s so obvious why it was all done. It’s good to know that all of the hard work that we put into it is being appreciated, and people realize that it all makes perfect sense. The reaction is pretty much what I was hoping for. Have you been hearing similar sentiments from fans, supporters, and critics? Cutting right to the chase, I enjoyed The Machinations of Dementia, but I love the hell out of The Animation of Entomology.
