Evil Residence is a collective that uses current media in non-traditional ways. While it is easy to say that nothing done is ground-breaking or innovative, a unique take is provided that is far from the mainstream.

For information about copyrights and licensing of Evil Residence created material, see this page.

Evil Residence's work is of three main types. Evil Residence Records is an online pseudo-record label used as an outlet for Evil Residence made music. All Evil Residence Records releases are available on the Internet Archive, except for samplers which are periodic limited CD-R releases used in an attempt to publicize Evil Residence.

Evil Residence Films is the video division of Evil Residence. So far, ER Films has only created three music videos. However, plans are in the works to possibly produce both shorts and feature length films.

Evil Residence also does some miscellaneous work, including any essays/rants, cartoons and other images.

Why Evil Residence?

Well, a few years ago (late 2003), Mike and Andrew were filming a crappy zombie movie to kind of parody Resident Evil, so they used the name Evil Residence. Since, the movie has been abandoned although Mike still has the footage they shot. Some ideas were brainstormed for followup movies and Robbie and Andrew are still considering filming the unrelated sequel titled Evil Residence 3: A Tale For The Ages

So, who is Evil Residence?

Well, currently only five people are really in Evil Residence, although we have had outside collaboration.

What's an Album-A-Day and why do you guys make so many of them?

Well, an Album-A-Day is just that, an album written and recorded in a day. More specifically, it needs to be either 20 minutes or 30 tracks long, consist only of original material and created within 24 consecutive hours. You can get a full rundown, as well as a lengthy list of AADs, by going to the Album-A-Day homepage, maintained by the creator of the Album-A-Day project, Tom VII. It explains everything in detail.

As for why we make so many Album-A-Days, we do it because it makes us make music, mainly. It provides us with an attainable goal that enables us to make music quickly and efficiently. It's very satisfying to start and finish something in the same day, especially when you've made something with some quality to it, which we usually aim to do with our AADs, although some may miss the mark.

So, how many Album-A-Days have you guys made?

This one's a bit of a difficult question to answer. Well, first we'll start with the easy answers. Adhesion & Scrap Heap, BRYTHONIC, CPB, KIBO, Q.E.D. and The True Wheel have all, as of the time of this writing, made one Album-A-Day each. Apostles of Robespierre have created two AADs.

Here's where it gets more complicated. Beyond this, the count depends on what exactly one wishes to count as an AAD. dotCommunism has created twelve AADs, if one uses relatively inclusionist criteria. That is, if one counts all intended AADs as AADs, even those which don't quite meet the time deadline. If one wishes to use strict criteria, however, which don't count those which go over the time deadline, then that number drops down to ten, as two dotCommunism AADs, Sic Semper and Gospeltronic, took longer than 24 consecutive hours to complete.

Now, if you thought that was complicated, you haven't seen anything yet. Adhesion has created seventeen AADs using the standard count, which counts each attempted AAD and counts the triple AAD PROLIFIC as a single AAD. However, if we were to count PROLFIIC as three separate AADs, that would bring the count up to nineteen. Additionally, the double album Opus Magnus was originally intended to be seven AADs in one. So, if we counted PROLIFIC as one, we could also count Opus Magnus as one, bringing the count to eighteen. Additionally, if we were to count PROLIFIC as three, we could then count Opus Magnus as seven, which would bring the count to twenty-six. However, if we were to use the strict definition of AADs (counting PROLIFIC as three), then the count would be reduced to sixteen as Opus Magnus, Delphi Arrival, Pseudocold2 and Uncertainty4 were not completed within the AAD timeframe (with Opus Magnus, it didn't meet the AAD timeline times seven). Additionally, if we were to just count PROLIFIC as a single AAD under the strict criteria, then the count would only be fourteen. So, as we can see, depending on how we wish to count, we see that Adhesion can have anywhere from 14 to 26 AADs, however for simplicity's sake, all attempted AADs are counted, multiple AADs (in a single release) are counted only once, and Opus Magnus is not counted for whatever reason, giving us the count of seventeen. Yes, it's rather arbitrary, but that's how we do things.
