Kingtone

The Overdub Club lays new sounds over old film footage - hence the usage of the term overdub. We screen films that tickle your brain and are pleasurably insane. And since it is live, no two shows are ever the same. The soundtracks are for the most part live, but sometimes we use pre-recorded material.

And yes, we are actually a club with a rotating cast of characters. Currently: Thad Povey, Alphonso Alvarez, Kitty Hutton, Chris Santeramo, Suki O’Kane and myself.

Thad’s film studio under Bob Ostertag’s house in SF is the closest thing we have to a meeting house. It has really low ceilings and is crammed with cool old equipment, films, musical instruments and a hot plate for making tea.

Projects:
The Overdub Cub is currently in the process of converting its 2003 piece, Nightsoil, to Hi-res digital, complete with a new prerecorded soundtrack, for future distribution to film festivals, etc.

The group has also been working on a rather complex multi-image and sound piece tentatively entitled, Year of the Caves.
