INVISIBLE COLLEGE

About Me

Like so many suburban children, IC was conceived, born and raised in the basements of split levels and modified bungalows, cheap studio spaces and smoky, all-night coffee shops. As the digital world redesigned the spaces where we live, IC evolved into an etherial band.IC is fed by Heineken and vodka, bottomless pots of blissfilled coffee, public libraries, credit lines, green belts, culverts and cornfields. Sometimes subtle and often obvious intertextual reference to Utrecht and Amsterdam, OMD, dark streets, lonely bedrooms, Brian Eno, Joy Division, anything with a plug, Wire, WW2 airplanes, battleships and views from train windows, empty factories, cubase, wortlerstump, Dostoevsky, Nietzche and Johnny Cash, Neu!, Velvet Underground, sequential circuits, jet propulsion, sonic mirages, reason, Barnett Newman and Gerhard Richter lurk in the aural landscape IC calls home.
The band is currently in the studio reworking some older pieces, but also recording newer songs in the process, which throughout time we will be able to bring this to you.
