INSEkT L0GIC

About Me

INSEkT (spelled with a lower-case "k") represents the synthetic, artificial, or unnatural design, while L0GIC (spelled with a zero) represents a machine-like process, behavior, or philosophy.

Front man and (formerly) sole member of INSEkT L0GIC, thee karkajou automaton, is yet another computer nerd with an outdated machine producing unique experimental sounds used to suggest movement, form, and emotion for your listening pleasure here on the internet. His music sets a definite mood which is very difficult to describe in words, and thee karkajou automaton, himself, has a very interesting perspective on what he is striving to accomplish through his work:
"One of the primary objectives of INSEkT L0GIC is to create music with multiple interpretations to allow the listener to find something new with each exposure. The concept is to look beyond what we are conditioned to believe and what we are conditioned to disbelieve. Instead, we are encouraged to 'think outside the box' of human experience and discover certain connections between ideas we would normally perceive as unrelated, contradictory, or alien."
"We begin to understand by studying the parts that influence each other in order to make up the entire composition, and the realization of the complete picture also affects the nature of the individual parts themselves. This self-perpetuating process allows the whole composition to constantly re-invent itself as an ever-evolving, artificial organism each time it is experienced by the audience."
Hello, and welcome to the show.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 16/08/2004
Band Website: http://www.edge-culture.net
Band Members: thee karkajou automaton (noize, design, voices), stephanie k (live bass and vox), mavis (live performance), jerome (circuit bending), cyndee (photography, snobbery), serina (deadlyhair, gorgeousness), and a cast of thousands.. more live members to be added soon!!
Influences: I do quite a bit of reading. I prefer mostly science fiction, cyberpunk, and horror novels. These include authors like Clive Barker, Neil Gaiman, William Gibson, Bruce Sterling, Frank & Brian Herbert, H.P. Lovecraft, C.J. Cherryh, Anais Nin, Charles-Pierre Baudelaire, George Alec Effinger, Walter Jon Williams, Ray Bradbury, Robert A. Heinlein, Kathe Koja, and Brian Hodge. I also like to keep up on non-fiction that focuses on technology, communication, and music production.

I mostly listen to music i would deejay, with genres such as rhythmic power noise, electro fetish music, abstract industrial, electronic body music, dark ambient, batcave & death rock, european darkwave, ethereal, and musique concrete.
Sounds Like: If you like my music, you might also like similar artists such as Axiome , Tarmvred , PAL , Communication Zero , Iszoloscope , Die Form , Android in Motion , Vernian Process , NARC , Panzer Division , Forma Tadre , Gruntsplatter , The Bleeding Stone , Elektrode , Lustmord , Sleep Chamber , Mental Destruction , Brighter Death Now , Unter Null , and Yrrwe Zsuzyrrwe . Throw them all into a blender and it may sound like INSEkT L0GIC after awhile.

dead laptop update

New AC adapter and battery did not fix. Meh. That makes 2 dead desktops and 2 dead laptops since I started working on this cd release. Double meh.

another dead laptop

This release is cursed. Luckily I was working on the artwork from an external drive and backing up to local drives, so I don't think I lost the images I was working on. This still pisses me off though...

cd art project

Printed the cut sheets for the outer booklet and the back traycard. Looks passable. Love the barcode. Makes things feel more official.
