Euphonic Dissonance re-imagines Ministry’s Psalm 69 Part 2

Progressive industrial music group Euphonic Dissonance takes on the task of re-imagining the Ministry song PSALM 69. Here's an update on their progress. This song will be entered into a contest to be featured in the upcoming movie soundtrack for FIX - a movie about Ministry.

Here's what a certain Ministry's Psalm 69 sounds like when you pump it through the Euphonic Dissonance musical grinder. What's different than the previous blog about this song? - well, we added some delightfully distorted guitars to the mix. Their just rough cuts on the guitar parts. Will hopefully do some more work on that tomorrow but got caught up in rounding out the song in other ways. Sorry for the bridge fade but there isn't much going on beyond the bridge that isn't a train wreck. That will be resolved very soon.

MInistry Remake Psalm 69 - rough draft 2 fade at bridge

Trying to drop some very subtle hip-hop elements into the drum mix. Can't wait till this bad angry child is fully grown.
Such a great song and we are having a great time working on this one.

and now.....some fun Ministry lyrics

tell me something i don't know
show me something i can't use
push the button
connect the goddamned dots
live-in thief in my bedroom bathroom
commodity sodomy glass autonomy
promise everything take it all away
give it a rest
you're lying through your teeth
you're lying through your teeth
who what which why who
when did you say the earth would stop turning?
when did you say we would all start burning?
when should i make a pledge?
should i listen to the voices in my head?
connect the goddamned dots
connect the goddamned dots
connect the goddamned dots
who am i trying to impress?
who could care less?
tell me something i don't know
lyrics for tvII - psalm 69 album by ministry

Love everyone. Leave us luscious comments about how much you love Ministry's music. Thanks.

Euphonic Dissonance re-imagines Ministry's Psalm 69

Great news. Euphonic Dissonance will be working on a re-thinking of Ministry's song "Psalm 69". We're going to be submitting our little tidbit into this fine contest put together by Tunecore and Ministry. We are so frikkin' pumped about this.


Paul Barker (bass guitarist, producer and engineer for Ministry) is providing bass tracks and all the samples for producing the song. He'll also be judging the contest. Our stuff is going to be heard by one of the founding members of Ministry whether we win or not - again folks - THIS IS HUGE!!!! If we win the contest our song will be included on the companion album to the film.

Here is the original song and corresponding video.

So here is a sample of the track that we are currently working on for the contest. It's very rough but should give you a feel for where this is going.

Sorry about that chaotic ending to the song. If you actually made it to the end there is a chaotic little mistake that's quite loud and abrasive. Well, that's all for now. I imagine you'll hear more on our progress very soon. So, Ministry fans - what's your favorite Ministry song?

Euphonic Dissonance returns to THE CUBE

Brian brings us new photos from the CUBED PROJECT. Sarah Star and Brian Copeland inside a box.

Five years ago I participated in Geoffrey Hicks' cubed project. During 18 months from 2005 to 2006 Geoffrey photographed one hundred different individuals inside a white cube. Wanting to create a uniquely interactive way to display the series as a single piece, he created a special digital picture frame with an integrated sensor. As a viewer walked up to the display, the photographs changed based on the viewer’s distance to the screen. This is how the project was presented to the public in gallery.

Now it is 2010 and Geoffrey is returning to this unique project but this time he's raising the bar to include one thousand individuals into the format. Here are photos of Sarah and I inside Geoff's cube. Enjoy. Lovely work Geoffrey. Looking forward to seeing this project when it's finished.



Here are some of Brian's pictures from the previous project 5 years ago.



Please leave comments and tell us what you think of the new pics.
