(Making of) Algernon

Video from the production of the song "Algernon, from Schwinntonation's new "Independence" EP, recorded at Burrows Moving and Storage July 2011. Burrows is a studio in the moving company's warehouse in Chicago, IL. We took advantage of many of the cavernous spaces the warehouse had to offer (e.g. the freight elevator, the dock, the stairwells, etc.) by reamping and routing many of our bicycle instruments into them. The full EP will be available on bandcamp and on cd very soon. And yes, that is a talkbox tube (reamping the forkophone) being swung around Charlie's head at the end.
