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.
