Series VIII: The Beat Experience / Offbeat: A Red Hot Soundtrip

General

This series encompasses both "The Beat Experience" CD-ROM/Video and "Offbeat: A Red Hot Soundtrip" enhanced audio CD.

Released by WAX TRAX / TVT in 1996, "Offbeat: A Red Hot Soundtrip" was an offshoot of The Beat Experience, a project exploring the legacy of the Beat generation produced by The Red Hot Organization in association with the Whitney Museum of American Art. "The Beat Experience" CD-ROM combines text, jazz, underground films and visual art to anthologize the period, while "The Beat Experience" video is an hour TV show that presents the era in a contemporary edit of archive filmclips, sound bites, music and abstract imagery.
