Pre-orders for synnack init.system DVD now available

Sat, 04 Sep 2010 11:08:24 EDT

Pre-orders are now being taken for the new synnack DVD video release, init.system synnack init.system is a video anthonlogy exploring themes of creation, revelation, demise and catharsis. Set to tracks from synnack's "v2" release, init.system is split into 3 acts; each focused on a different phase of an unknown protagonist's journey. Adolescent trauma, abnormal curiosity with familiar objects, and psuedo-spiritual revelation are highlighted in Act I "init.being". Act I features videos for "Ants in the Water", "L3D", and "Nauvoo" and introduces the 3 main characters and the rising tensions between them. In Act II, "init.descent", these tensions escalate to a violent and destructive outcome in videos for "Her Room" and "Underneath Outside". The anthology concludes in Act III "init.restart" which is set to "Rize (5mg)" and provides a hallucinatory abstraction meant to represent a moment of twilight just after the protagonist's ultimate end.

FoN and Oil Spill Relief

Sat, 19 Jun 2010 12:20:53 EDT

I am considering giving 100% of revenue from all sales on forced distro for at least one month to charities benefiting south Louisiana people most effected by the BP situation. I know there are many charities focused on environmental cleanup. Audubon Society being one. However I'd really like to focus the giving on directly helping families whose businesses and livelihoods are destroyed by the events there. I found this one, for example. http://no-hunger.org/ I am also considering releasing a CD compilation called "Sonic Relief for the Gulf" and giving 100% of those profits to charity as well. So I have a big need to understand what the most appropriate LOCAL charities are that have the biggest impact on these families. If anyone has any knowledge or thoughts on where I might look or what charities could provide the most help to these families please shoot them my way! Of course, if you are also willing to submit an exclusive track to a compilation like this, hit me up. info at forceofnature.cc

The Carapace signed to FON

Sat, 20 Mar 2010 12:20:39 EDT

FON is pleased to announced a new artist to the lineup. The Carapace is the freeform electronic music project of Joshua Colella; the producer behind the industrial hardcore project scrap.edx. The project was created in central Connecticut on Joshua's 30th birthday as a means of expressing perceived reality and a vehicle to imprint human experiences through sound. In addition to utilizing heavily processed and manipulated field recordings as the foundation for the project's sonic landscapes, The Carapace also draws from the learned production techniques of IDM, glitch techno and cinematic post-production without marginalizing listeners into particular genre mindsets. The music of The Carapace places emphasis both on refined, technically sound production and creativity, thus enticing listeners to engage The Carapace both with the mind and body. Look for more details on the first The Carapace release on Force of Nature later this year. Check out demo clips on his myspace at myspace.com/thecarapace
