Encyclopedia Asthmatica Vol 1 - Half Handed Cloud (Trailer)

Get the DVD at: www.microcinema.com

The Encyclopedia Asthmatica is a collection of Asthmatic Kitty Records visuals; the odd, the sublime, and the delectable. It also includes stop-animation menus meticulously captured from the artistic imagination of Gala and Zack Bent, set to characteristic music arrangements by jingle-virtuoso Rafter Roberts.

Nearly all of the Asthmatic Kitty Records' roster, and many of their friends, make an appearance somewhere on this DVD: from the playful choreography of the Think Dance Collective frolicking in shoes made of bread to the music of Half-handed Cloud, to the lovely abstraction of Sufjan Stevens' projectionist, Deborah Johnson; from the haunting and raw post-apocalypse video fuzz of live Castanets, to the crisp color footage of My Brightest Diamond at Northsix, there are visual pieces that hopscotch the chasm between the professionalism of a music-visual DVD to the rabid eccentricity of a five-copy, underground video-zine.
