In any genre of music, there are always those individuals without whom the music weall know and love would falter and fall flat on its face. One such individual isChris Cozort, for this man has amassed quite the resume in the industrialand electronic music underground as a highly skilled producer, working withfamiliar names like Pigface and Diverje, to many of the newer andupcoming industrial stars like Adipocere, Skullduggery, and mostprominently, Cyanotic. Besides that, he’s also a co-founder of GlitchMode Recordings, as well as his own underground production and masteringoutfit, TROZOC.
Cozort is also the driving creative force behind Iammynewt. Havingdone remixes for PTI and Empty, and releasing tracks on compilationssuch as Glitch Mode’s Hordes of the Elite, Dark Sonus Vol. 1,and Underground, Inc.’s Notes from the Real Underground Vol. Vand the Ramones tribute Gabber Gabber Hey!, the sound of Iammynewt isone of urgency and aggravation, chockfull of ear-splitting synthesizerarrangements, desolate atmospheres, and head-churning beats. There is a deceptivesimplicity to Iammynewt’s approach; stark, visceral, and rich in creativity.One is never overwhelmed, and yet one can get lost in the sonic maze.
Now in 2007, Cozort will not only be making an appearance on the newCyanotic album, Transhuman 2.0, but he also is poised to release thedebut Iammynewt CD, one that is sure to send a deafening shock to your audiosynapses. Be prepared!
