Three Two Eight (Knit That Rip)

Three Two Eight (Knit That Rip) from Lyn Faber on Vimeo.
Culled off the cassette-only release of the 1991 Lyn Faber classic "Feverish Murmurs From A Sick Man's Dreams", Three Two Eight (Knit That Rip) crosses over from analog to digital for the first time on any screen as the new single out of the Jersey shore studios of Lyndon Lorenz.
Since the original tape was twenty years old (featuring soundbites from a tape collection of old radio commercials), finding public domain stock footage was kind of a pain in the neck. As always, the Prelinger Archive at archive.org pulled through once again:
-- Experiments In The Revival Of Organisms (1940) for the b&w footage
-- I Am A Doctor (1959) for the color medical clips
-- Practical Housewife (1957) for the housewife and the kitchen stuff
Everything else was assembled from more than a hundred JPEGs of every word and every combination of dots (this, like finding the right source clips, was also a pain in the neck. So now I have two pains in the neck).
Musically, the bed track was cut two decades ago on a Fostex X30 multitracker (using dual outboard cassette decks for flying in the audio bits), and a Casio SK5 sampler to put together the song itself. Oldskool all the way, until it was brought into the 21st century to create this exclusive Vimeo reissue.
