Genretribal soundtrack – the heavy tribal drum-battle scene

  1. the VRII‘s ICVs are standing with their heads down and elbows high, drumsticks crossed overhead, naked, in the halfway-down squatting position, like a Sumo wrestler, but elven-hot
  2. suddenly, one starts to drum/play, the spotlight orange over her
  3. then the other joins in, and the drum-battle begins, the spotlight orange over the one whose part is dominant
  4. their eyes‘ irises are orange to match the spotlight
  5. maybe they toss their drumsticks to each other at times, not missing a beat
  6. maybe do the drumstick-bounce-back-into-grip technique since it can be zoomed in at on the over-stage big-screen
  7. some switch to drumming with their hands/palms
  8. sfx sync’ed to smacking/spanking one’s ass-cheeks to this beat
  9. cool overhead spotlights color-fades every time the drums pause and the trippy blur-sfx recurs
  10. each span of drums-playing is a bit more intense/complex, stage-performance-wise; an additional ICV playing or dancing, etc., then they start picking up and walking around with their drums, playing on the drums of the ICVs beside them instead of their own drums, until the grand finale –of tossing not just their drumsticks to each other, but their drums, as well
  11. sudden drums end with lights-out, leaving only their eyes colorfully still on/bright/visible
  12. silence for the audience to applaud

“Everybody Get Down” by Deepstate II

  1. ICV on the drums
  2. then another ICV joins with the keyboard SFX
  3. then a 3rd ICV with the horn/s
  4. then a 4th ICV w the snare-like drum sfx
  5. 5th on tambourine/triangle
  6. WAY sexier female vocals after that
  7. break-dancer ICVs start entering the stage from both sides
  8. then Auz does the male vocals (minus the “Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Jew” etc. lyric)
  9. more dancer-ICVs rappel down

“Pompeii” by Bastille

  1. quick fade-in before first chanted notes:  screen brightens with first clip view… of _??
  2. all of us as a choir together chanting the intro
  3. Auz sings the main part/solo right after that, while the band-ICVs handle the instruments (including 1 ICV playing the spoons; the clacks)
    “I was left to my own devi-i-i-ices.  Many days fell away with nothing to show.” –clips of me driving from city to city, restaurant to restaurant, showing my bank account rise and fall, over and over, etc.
  4. “like you’ve been here before” shows some of my time-travel observations/moments
  5. “but if you close your eyes” –sync’ed screen over band/stage shows POV of eyes closing down around the clips
  6. “clouds bringing darkness from above” –clips of our weather-manip’/-wielding
  7. fade-out choral/chant –maybe shows briefer clips; of our ICVs on their 13th-grade exoduses; going through their own ‘loops’/’repeats’

“Can’t Hold Us (cover)” by Pentatonix (Macklemore & Ryan Lewis) -catchy beat and rapid-rap with harmonizing

  1. Auz does the main/intro, then spotlight expands to show rest of band on stage, all sitting on a couch to rap this one, hand-drumming the coffee-table in front of them
  2. ICVs join as backup vocals, but without the horrible accents of the original song
  3. “tonight is the night” = _
  4. “put our hands up” = _
  5. minus the 3:20mark talking

Conan-esque track used by Sylvie

  • ICVs on instruments; flute, harp, etc.
  • Auz as main vocalist
  • kajirae belly-dancers doing their best Gorean arousal dance-moves to the beat, pausing between the beats/notes, etc.
  • at ~1:30 quiet middle, screen above stage shows some of the coolest ancient and unknown ruins while spotlights over band members dim to black, leaving only the music playing and the screen clips seen
  • fade-back-in/-loud toward end = lights match; fading back on over each band member
  • then all lights and screen suddenly turn off at cut-off end of this song

 

–

“Sinking” by Sysyphe:

  • FOR MIDDLE OF CONCERT BC INTERMISSION-LIKE

 

–

“Grim Discovery”

  • single ICV on the drums at first
  • then more ICVs; as many as needed for the other instruments/sfx
  • screen shows grim discoveries Auz made during his expeditions
  • lengthen into a full song; a few minutes
