Forenzics

Just a really quick one to announce The Sounds UnSound Festival. It’s a mini festival we are curating featuring improvised, noisy, ambient, left-field experimental or out-there rock acts. We’re still in the process off lining up acts – if the above sounds like you get in touch before the bill is full.

It’s happening on the 2nd April 2010 at The Bald Faced Stag Hotel in Leichhardt, kicking off at 2pm. We’ll have around 8 acts so it’s sure to be worth a look if you’re into the weird stuff.

More info to come…

Today Forenzics are proud to announce Forenzics Radio – a streaming audio player containing all sorts of weird and wonderful offcuts from the improvised musical process that is Forenzics. Full of unreleased, demo, live and poorly recorded improvisations we’ve recorded over the years with many more to come.

The Droning Earth guys have kindly included our track The Diving Bell / The Deeps on volume 26 of their free online drone/experimental album compilation series. Check it out here.

Forenzics debut album H3O is finally available for download from itunes. The other sites came online quicker but as itunes is the most widely used by everyone we held off announcing availability till then. You can also purchase it from emusic, amazon, napster and rhapsody. Go to the shop page for more info.

Forenzics are proud to release their self-funded debut album ‘H3O’, an hour-long spontaneous piece of music recorded in one complete take on 8th October 2007. Mixed by Jorden Brebach and mastered by William Bowden.

H3O is a semi-abstract liquid sound world that touches on psychedelia, ambience, art-rock and noise. The band features guitarists Matthew Syres and Dirk Kruithof who, with drummer Ben Eadie, create hypnotic and slowly building currents of sound, from turbulently disruptive noise to serenely calm minimalist textures.

The two guitarists have distinctly different playing approaches; creating a wide array of textures through the use of effects, non-standard tunings and found objects. The music moves from a very electronic sound palette all the way through to unabashed power trio rock sounds.

Rather than an ‘anything goes’ aesthetic of some free music the album has an internal logic and continuity; a group-sound arrived at through playing together over a number of years, and a loose conceptual sonic theme based around water.

Coming soon to itunes, amazon and other online sources.
