“The scandalous Carmencita split-screen triplets return from beyond the grave to join up with Band of Art on 09-09-09 in an orgy of bare ankles and sonic improvisation.”

The movie includes a sample from the film Carmencita(1894), directed and produced by William K.L. Dickson, the Scottish inventor credited with the invention of the motion picture camera under the employ of Thomas Edison.
