Notes From Ralph

"As of this writing, The Gingerbread Man is The Residents' only foray into the world of Enhanced CD. Though the project was also released as a music-only disc, the real version was a CD that would play not only in your CD player, but also in the CD-ROM drive of your computer. The computer added a whole new dimension of interactive video."

"I mean, The Residents are not programmers. They certainly have ideas in that direction. But a lot of what happens, happens because of relationships and connections. And, um... they made a relationship or a connection with a guy, back in the early nineties, named Ty Roberts. And Ty Roberts, who now is a tech guy at, uh... Universal. Um... but Ty was a really early supporter of the connection between music and... and computers. And he was also involved with Todd Rundgren in the same way, uh, he was also involved, I think with... maybe Eno in the same way. So, um... once again, once they sort of connected with him, I mean he's the one that's responsible for their Gingerbread Man CD-ROM... and... you know, like I said, once they connected with him, they also connected with this artist, uh, Jim Ludtke, and all of a sudden, doors started opening, and made these things, uh, happen. Um... but, once again, you know, if you don't know how to do it yourself, until you find somebody who can open that door and get you through it, well, you know, you can [...] wish forever, but nothing's gonna happen."
