"As the images of David Cronenberg's rarely seen film Crimes Of The Future flickered,

SPOONBENDER 1.1.1 is the 'tele-ambient dream self' of I AM SPOONBENDER—the San Francisco-based 'populist avantronics' group. While I AM SPOONBENDER is designed for performing in concert halls and theaters, SPOONBENDER 1.1.1 influences the atmospheres of art galleries, modern dance events, and film soundtracks. SPOONBENDER 1.1.1 is not a side project- rather, it is a fully focused, smaller scale satellite extension of the central IAS concept. while there is some sonic crossover, the group's more challenging, textural, and soundtrack aspects are often found in the never-the-same-show-twice SPOONBENDER 1.1.1 .
it is more psychological, 'inner space', low-key and mainstream difficult.
it is loved equally by its creators, CUP and DUSTIN DONALDSON.
DEAD CHANNELS: THE SAN FRANCISCO FESTIVAL OF FANTASTIC FILM:
an international showcase for entertaining and intelligent science-fiction, fantasy, horror, exploitation, action, and a few weird unclassifiable gems.
DEAD CHANNELS will open in San Francisco at the historic Castro Theatre
on August 9th and run at the Roxie Film Center from August 10-16, 2007"
"Fans of innovative Canadian filmmaker David Cronenberg will recognize the emergence of his unique voice in his 1970 project Crimes of the Future, the director's second feature".- Cavett Binion, Greencine
"Spoonbender 1.1.1’s Stereo Telepathy Academy is fucking mental. And essential. Truly alien, Truly progressive, and likely to be misunderstood by all but the committed.
A true classic.." KFJC.ORG
"(SPOONBENDER 1.1.1's 'stereo telepathy academy' CD is) richly evocative- the music preserves the elements of chance and synchronicity...spacious and hypnotic.. a gorgeous inner/outer spacescape to rival the most galactic of krautrocks, with deliciously ear-massaging sprays of self-reproducing analog spores...Spoonbender 1.1.1 create a gloriously suggestive blanket of shape-shifting psychedelic drones, quivering energy fissures and ghostly evocations of hopelessly obscured transmissions...crystalline in its purity, specific in its intent, and ultimately more powerful in its effect." - BRAINWASHED.COM
