Baltimore superstar weirdo Dan Deacon is set to release his much-talked-about DVD, Ultimate Reality.

The press release says:

Ultimate Reality is a collaborative performance by Dan Deacon and Jimmy Joe Roche that combines an intense musical composition for electronics and two live drummers (from the bands Ponytail and Video Hippos) with a psychedelic montage of Arnold Schwarzenegger films that is projected at a monumental scale. The live energy of the performance with the popular content of the projection has allowed the piece to freely move between art and music venues and grant it a wide audience of appreciation. The forty minute music composition, written by Dan Deacon, blasts from three sets of loudspeakers during performance.”

The DVD is set to be released this winter on DC’s own Carpark Records. Here’s a clip:
