Background
editSYR6 is a live recording of an April 12, 2003 benefit show for the Anthology Film Archives. The band, joined by percussionist Tim Barnes, played along with silent Stan Brakhage films.
SYR6 followed the tradition of having the liner notes in the SYR series written in foreign language titles, in this case, in Lithuanian. The meaning of the title is "a concert in memory of Stan Brakhage". The title and liner notes were translated by Lithuanian filmmaker Jonas Mekas.
SYR6 was the first in the SYR series to receive no release on vinyl.
