The Mars Volta on the field


Recommended Posts

Televators or The Widow would make great ballads! Very mysterious and dark.

And if I were a show designer, I think that running through the De-Loused in the Comatorium album would be awesome. Kinda hard to tell, but it does depict a story about Cerpin Taxt going insane and committing suicide. What a happy theme.

The guitar player (or maybe the singer, can't remember) wrote this storybook to accompany the album.

Ilyena would make for a cool jam session/perc feature. Think about it: hornline playing with backs to the crowd for the first "muted" part, then a fast 180 with a monster brass hit. You could really go wild with electronic effects in the pit, too.

I can't believe this is on DCP! I was just talking to my friend about this last week. Televators would definitely be the ballad. There's a breakdown in Miranda: B that would be a killer half-time section.

I think it would be a much better show if you took your opener/closer and used an entire album as the music source. Say Francis the Mute for the opener and Deloused for the closer, then took snipets or melodies from multiple songs to write your brass book.
