Major Organ Film, Vortex of Withering MP3

Just a few quick footnotes to our Andrew Rieger interview this week.

In the interview, we asked him about his live improv performance at the AUX festival with Will Hart and John Fernandes of Circulatory System; it's called Vortex of Withering, and they seldom perform together. Sloan Simpson at Southern Shelter taped some of the performances at the festival, and is now sharing the Vortex of Withering improv at his site.

Rieger also dropped details of a Major Organ and the Adding Machine film that's in the works, based upon the seminal (well, I think it's seminal) 2001 album of the same name. Mike Turner, posting a comment on the article, confirmed its existence, and I want to repeat the comments here for those who might have missed them: "The movie is real, it's been in the making for some time. My roommate Eric has helped on many days of the taping, and from what I hear it's a rather big production, lots of people, costumes, and sets, and loads of green screen action." If anyone has any further details they'd like to share, please pass them along!
