In Between Screams

* 1999 Residents
* 2014 Bobuck

***In Between Screams (Intermission Music From The Residents' Wormwood)*** is a limited edition CD-R by The Residents, featuring a twenty minute suite of music composed by Charles Bobuck as intermission music for the group's 1999 Wormwood tour.

The suite was first released as a limited edition CD-R which was sold at the merchandise stand on the Wormwood tour; it was later reissued digitally in 2014 credited solely to Bobuck. Most recently the suite was featured on the 2022 pREServed box set *Wormwood Box*.

## History

*In Between Screams* follows 1983's *Intermission* EP and 1987's *For Elsie* in an ongoing series of "intermission music" released by The Residents and later, Charles Bobuck.

The CD-R features a single twenty-minute suite, which samples twenty-one religious songs; the last section of the suite was designed to play as the curtains opened, and The Residents would begin playing where the pre-recorded music finished.

## Liner notes

### Charles Bobuck digital reissue (2014)

The final theme is positioned to conclude just as the curtains open with The Residents continuing the theme live.*
