Chad Clark, the singer, songwriter, producer and leader of
local rock troupe Beauty Pill is getting the band back together.
Wanna watch?
The group will be recording a new album next month -- in public. From July 16 through Aug. 2, from noon until 10 p.m. each day, Clark and his bandmates
will set up shop in Artisphere?s Black Box Theatre and lay down tracks in the company of anyone who might be interested in seeing how 21st century rock
albums get made.
?People are really going to see us in a complete state of uncertainty,? Clark tells Click Track.
Clark has dubbed the project ?Immersive Ideal,? and likens the viewer experience to a visit to the zoo. Show up at the right time, you?ll catch the entire
band wailing away. Show up at the wrong time and they?ll be huddled around a computer, listening to a rough mix.
Artisphere, the cultural center that opened in Arlington last year, is hosting the project in two-parts. Once the recording is finished, it will be played
in the Theatre in surround sound, most likely this winter. (The album will also be released traditionally, but there?s no drop date or label just yet.)
