Mere hours away from kicking off our 5 Shatterdays of Shocktober with the Planets' epic (and terrifying) musical companion piece to BFF's short film, "Cliff Lake," you may be wondering what exactly is a "listening party"? It is precisely what the name implies: a large (or small) group of people--in this case, you, us, your friends, our friends--gathered around a particular piece of music--again in this case, that piece is the disturbing masterwork, "i was a bad boy: The Music of Cliff Lake"--and listening to it. Of course, part of the fun is knowing you are not alone (even if you are alone in front of your computer), as many others from different cities and states will be listening with you. And it may help to know that. This music (along with the odd, nightmarish visuals that accompany it) will creep its way into your mind like a persistent worm with a mouthful of teeth, and may make you wish you'd been watching it in a brightly lit room with a dozen of your closest friends. Or your mommy.
If you saw "Cliff Lake" last June, you'll be in for a real treat. Within the dark melodious landscape of this "sonic extension" you will hear campfire conversations of the characters from the film. So to know the whole story, you cannot simply only watch "Cliff Lake." You must also sit in a dark room, turn up the volume, and brace your nerves for "i was a bad boy: The Music of Cliff Lake."
