Even when I was a child (which, need I remind you, is the target audience for these movies) I thought Pixar was just making the same movie over and over again, and while they’re certainly the best at it, I really don’t need to see it year after year... but as someone very ionate about music education, I was sorta hoping I’d be a mark for this one.

“A collection of collaborations with our favorite video artists, VJs, vusicians, live video performers and time-based visualists,” say the liner notes of Evidence’s CD/DVD set Evidence. As predicted from those credits, this leans a bit heavier on improvisatory cut-ups and real-time manipulations than it does carefully-composed and fully-realized video pieces (Evidence cut their teeth in Troy, NY’s avant-a/v jam scene - check out their spectacular live LP Final Goodship Tuesday, free to on their Bandcamp, for a document of…
