Oneida came up with the idea for The Wedding in early 2001, and
immediately began building the largest music box on the east coast of
the United States. Built of plywood, salvaged marine pilings, industrial
motor parts and over seventy saw blades, the hand-cranked behemoth was
assembled in the warehouse loading dock that's also home to the Vale of
Tears, Oneida's own recording studio. By hammering nails and spikes into
the cylindrical pilings at carefully mapped intervals, and rotating the
pilings through thickets of variably-tensioned saw blades, Oneida
created and recorded unearthly tones and melodies; these were
subsequently used as the basis for a series of melancholy, yearning
songs that now see the light of day as The Wedding.
Well, we just thought, "What would the Left Banke have sounded like if
they were a machine?" says Kid Millions of the unusual compositional
process. "I'm not sure we found out, but we made an interesting record."
"Yeah, throw in some serious random chance and our inability to build
anything more advanced than twelfth century siege weaponry, and you've
got a little medieval avant-garde orchestra in a box," adds Hanoi Jane.
After working for several years to complete the songs, the band added a
number of complex, lush string arrangements. Brian Coughlin, leader of
the NYC new music group Fireworks Ensemble, contributed his arranging
talents and assembled a group of string players whom he felt were
capable of understanding the unusual demands of the songs at hand.
"Other than my version of Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring for Fireworks,
no arranging task has pushed my skills and talents to such extremes as
the music of Oneida," according to Coughlin. "The emotional complexity
of the music is unmatched -- except maybe by the steel-drum version of
Stairway to Heaven I arranged for an amusement park," he laughs.
Other guests at The Wedding include Phil Manley of Trans Am, Adam
Davison of Company (who also appeared on Oneida's recent EP
Nice/Splittin' Peaches), Brad Truax of Home, and avant-garde piano
wizard Emily Manzo.
"You know, we ended up working so hard on these songs that the original
melodic sources are frequently buried or mixed out," notes Fat Bobby,
"but folks shouldn't worry - we're thinking about releasing a wicked
heavy dub record of the music box tracks sometime, called The Weeding."
