1) Video
Q: Is there a video of STOMP available to the public?
A: An HBO Special, STOMP OUT LOUD which premiered on December 6, 1997 is available for purchase through our website. Please go to the MERCHANDISE page and click your cursor on the STOMP OUT LOUD video ad for details on how to order the video. Also, the short film BROOMS (Sundance Film Festival Award Winner) can be purchased for educational purposes only from a company called Carousel Productions or can probably be bought in a store with an extensive video library. SHOWTIME aired "RIOT", a feature film about the LA riots with original music by the STOMP creators/directors Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas, on April 27, 1998.

2) CD/tape
Q: Has STOMP produced a CD of their performance?
A: The only available CD music with STOMP is a track called STOMP on the Quincy Jones album "Q's Jook Joint". However, this is not the music that is played at the show. SHOWTIME just aired "RIOT", a feature film about the LA riots with original music by the STOMP creators/directors Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas.

Q: Is STOMP planning to produce a soundtrack?
A: It would be the easiest thing in the world for us to make a digital recording of the show, press some CDs and make a little money selling them as merchandise. Creatively, however, we wouldn't feel too happy about this. We believe the percussion and visuals of STOMP are inextricably linked. You couldn't have one without the other. We would feel we were short changing our customers. That's why we have concentrated on film and video projects, culminating in Stomp Out Loud for HBO which is now released on video in the US, UK, France, Germany and Australia. We're also pleased it is available on DVD in some of those countries. Our next project is a feature film using some of the concepts developed for STOMP. We do, however, intend to record a STOMP CD at some point in the future, but we intend it to be a special project which explores percussion in a new and unique way. We will not be recording the show "soundtrack" for its own release.
