First Ever Video Release from the Chain Tape Collective

        The Chain Tape Collective announces the downloadable pre-release 
of 
Caligari: An Exquiste Corpse.

        The project includes some stunning music from 11 different 
collective
members, comprising two complete and brand new soundtracks for the
German Expressionist classic 'The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari'.  

        The film was scored using an Exquisite Corpse process.  Each of 
the 
11 contributors scored an act of the film in isolation from all of the
others, with only the visual continuity of the film serving as a unifying
factor.

        Musical styles range from early 20th-century chamber music to
electronica to out-jazz to lo-fi to noise.

        Visually, the film has been restored to the six act structure of 
the original scenario, tinted, and new inter-titles after the style of the 
German originals have been added.

        The DVD is in the final stages of mastering, and will be available 
in limited quantities from project participants only, for those who like
some artifact with their art.

        Anticipated DVD release date is September 1.

        A downloadable DVD-quality version is available now from 
archive.org.  
This version contains both soundtracks in a single file, and requires 
either QuickTime Pro or VLC.
