Tonight of the Living Dead is a dark-ambient instrumental audio reconstruction over a year in the making by Pimalia recording artists 400 Lonely Things, using dreary and sorrowful treatments of dialogue-free audio from the original Night of the Living Dead as its only ingredients. The result is a 65-minute long aural collage that Bloody Disgusting says “captures the desperation-laced black & white apocalypse and injects it into the world around you, bringing back to life an audio experience that is more than just a cd for fans of the macabre.”
Tonight of the Living Dead has been endorsed by Judith O’Dea, (“Barbra” in George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead) who writes: “Listening to Tonight of the Living Dead was like musically leaping back in time to relive all the nuances of my character Barbra’s struggle to survive all the horrific night terrors forced on her in Night of the Living Dead… a soul searching CD.”
Currently, 400 Lonely Things is collaborating with film-maker Phil Harrell to produce a unique video for each of the eight tracks on the album, applying the same techniques that were used to create the songs. The first recently completed video installment debuted as an opening feature for the film Pontypool at the Flyway Film Festival’s International Zombie Summit last weekend and was well-received by both audience and film-makers alike.
The download version of the album is available now at iTunes, Amazon and all the usual retailers. An uncompressed edition on compact disc accompanied by a 12-page booklet of photo treatments adapted from the movie is available exclusively at 400lonelythings.com.
