Changes: Evolution Number Ten

Revision as of 03:40, 28 September 2020

Evolution Number Ten is a recorded composition that appeared on the Rutles' Triangular Album. The sound collage, credited to Nasty-McQuickly, was created primarily by Ron Nasty with assistance from Stig O'Hara and Chastity. Nasty said he was trying to paint a picture of the theory of evolution using sound. It features numerous overdubbed vocals, speech, sound effects, and short tape loops of speech and musical performances, some of which were reversed. These were further manipulated with echo, distortion, stereo panning, and fading. At 6 hours long, it is the longest song The Rutles ever did.

Reception

Evolution Number Ten has left Rutles fans with a wide range of opinions. Some like it, thinking it was a creative concept, while others hated it and thought it was a complete waste of time.

Dirk, famously, was upset that Nasty was given the full-credit of attempting to create surrealist music in the band, as he had created the unreleased "Carnival of Shite" sometime before.
