Browse piano sheets by Blonde Redhead on Zen Virtual Piano. Mutual friends introduced Amedeo and Simone to Kazu Makino, then a film student, and the band formed from that meeting in New York in 1993. The twin brothers Amedeo and Simone Pace were born in Italy and studied jazz in Boston. Makino says she grew up in a household where she was allowed to listen to nothing but classical music. Jazz study in Boston, beside Makino's classical upbringing, may suggest a trio whose members came from different musical backgrounds. The Guardian reports that the Pace twins spent their early career in fear that they might be deported, after moving to the US on student visas. Steve Shelley, the drummer of Sonic Youth, released the first two Blonde Redhead albums on his label Smells Like. The Guardian adds that their early squall was indebted to Sonic Youth, with Makino's razorwire rasp and Amedeo's melancholic croon sounding like nothing else. The first two albums released on Smells Like by Steve Shelley, beside the self-released 2014 album BarragƔn, may suggest that the band's albums were put out in more than one way. Pitchfork says that a deep friendship with Unwound and Fugazi, which began on a 1995 tour together, left a mark on the band's albums. Guy Picciotto of Fugazi produced In an Expression of the Inexpressible in 1998, Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons in 2000 and Misery Is a Butterfly in 2004. Late one night in early 2000, the band was in a converted barn studio outside Seattle. Their fifth album, Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons, was nearly finished. Three albums produced by Guy Picciotto, beside the mid-2008 score for The Dungeon Masters, may point to a body of work that spans both albums and film music. On one song, Makino originally envisioned a choir with lots of children, but the band could not afford it. Instead they layered about 20 takes of Makino herself, becoming, as she says, "an army of my voice." In mid-2008 the band wrote and recorded the score of the documentary feature film The Dungeon Masters. The experience of self-releasing the 2014 album BarragƔn left Makino "decimated, financially and physically", and tensions with the Pace twins had grown intolerable. A choir replaced by layered takes of one voice, beside a self-released 2014 album, may point to the cost of recording appearing more than once in the band's story.
