We set out to video tape a live show for a certain composer who had expressed interest in seeing what an Invisible Rays show looked and sounded like. We decided, since this was a time sensitive project, that we’d perform the show without an audience, not unlike Pink Floyd’s Live at Pompeii. We’d play four songs, four times, use four cameras, and put something together pretty quickly. The date was set: Labor Day.
We are very lucky to have some incredibly talented friends. Matt Koestner graciously allowed us to use his metal shop and provided invaluable assistance. Filmmaker and musician Doug Demay filmed and co-directed the shoot with us and pulled out his dolly, jib arm, and awesome lights. Before we knew it, we also had a great crew in the form of Mark Dyde, Mike Plante, Nell Ma’luf.
We ended up playing more than four takes of each song, and I think we used six cameras, and editing is still going on at full steam, but we believe that short of the shrieks of our audience we are presenting you with a faithful representation of what we’d like an Invisible Rays show to feel like.
