Our Man Midnight is the fastest DJ alive. He spins his records on two hand-powered HMV gramophones at the breakneck speed of 78 rounds per minute - they don't come any faster than that. Every once in a while he
exchanges his antiques for high fidelity stereo equipment to entertain his audience with action packed sets of soundtracks from the groovy movies of the 60's and 70's. And in the cover of night he hacks up and reassembles recorded history into soundtracks for your enjoyment - with or without the complement of an actual film. The autobiographic short film "The Rise and Fall of Danny Midnight," was - as is the life it portrays - a flop. Another film incomprehensibly scored, "The Girl Who Wished to Be in the Pictures," is available for viewing in this space. Would you rather enjoy the superior quality of the original flash file? Watch it from afar here . Still hungry for more? Visit this arctic site to hear more of the sounds of Midnight.
We quote from the Orchestra's own log entry at the perilous launch into unexplored My Space territory on the Eve of Christmas in the Year of Our Lord 2006:
"It is the night before Christmas and Danny Midnight launches into space. Not into old-fashioned Outer Space or into worn-out Inner Space, but into a space of our age: the clammy space of the fancy-tickling monster known as "My." But how, you may ask, will a grumpy bastard such as Midnight survive in a place subsisting on the ooze of tickled glands? Oh, we may answer, he will survive by shameless trickery, by base tomfoolery and by outright evil - all feats performed behind the screen of his smoking cigar. Ha-hah! Heads off - Midnight is a-cumen in!"
