Re-introducing Endtroducing

The Shadow Percussion Project

The story goes something like this: A rad high school music teacher in Minnetonka, MN was so inspired by DJ Shadow's groundbreaking and legendary "Endtroducing" album, that he scored some of the music, gathered a bunch of his top students, taught them the waves and wafts of the mighty sounds, and performed it in the high schools auditorium. Luckily, a video camera was there to capture some of the footage.

I found this one day meandering thru the interweb highway, and felt I just needed to share it with more people.

Without further ado, here is Brian Nudelhofen's Shadow Percussion Project

p.s. admittedly, this link may have already "made the rounds" in other blogospheres, but I felt it was important for us here at c440r to appreciate the realization, as Brian envisioned, of hip-hop music and academic classical compositions coexisting on the same stage (and no, I don't feel that Jimmy Page and Puff Daddy previously demonstrated this when a few years back they appeared on SNL together with an orchestra and performed DiddyDaddy's "hit" Come With Me).
