This is a sneak peek at the soundtrack that will be used in a performance at Terra Extremitas, put on by the Foolish People. The script and soundtrack are based on some of the eschatological themes in Fallen Nation, and will serve as a bridge between that and a future project with the Foolish People, and many other creatives you may or may not have heard of...
The voices you will hear in this soundtrack will be the voices inside the actor's head. The rest you will just have to imagine- or better yet, get your ass to the event.
Also, after the Terra Extremitas event in Amsterdam, we will be providing you with a version of this soundtrack with the actors lines added- which may or may not have video, depending on how the filming at the event goes. Enjoy!
Soundtrack Credits:
Writing: James Curcio, Jason Stackhouse.
Production & Art Direction: James Curcio.
Music: P. Emerson Williams (Choronzon, Veil of Thorns), James Curcio, Scott Landes (Collide, Mankind is Obsolete), Jon Siren (Mankind is Obsolete, Hate Dept).

Recently we ran a doubleshot of GSpot with Jared Louche, frontman of Chemlab. When we ran that piece, we promised a follow-up based on the email conversations that had taken place while working out the details, a conversation that started out tackling some of the controversy that surrounded the Chemlab release Rock Whore vs. Dance Floor but quickly grew to encompass Jared’s incredibly varied musical projects and writing career. Check it out, follow up by listening to the podcast linked below, and hold on to something tight - this is one hell of an interview (Alterati.com).

One of a series of pieces I've been working on for the Fallen Nation audiobook...
Though this one is kind of funny because the machine metal just took over. It was meant to be spooky and moody and kind of weird and then suddenly BAM. Toms and ten tons of dancy evil. I don't know what happened.

[16 Jul 2007|02:14pm] |
"Recently I reviewed Ultrashiver, the new album from The Secret Meeting. As you can no doubt tell from my review, I loved it, and I was able to arrange for an interview with kaRIN and Statik who, along with Dean Garcia, created the album. But The Secret Meeting didn’t come out of nowhere, Statik and kaRIN have been creating some of the most incredible musical works of any genre for years now, and the list of people that they’ve worked with is incredible and includes musicians from Tool, Nine Inch Nails, and Skinny Puppy. I’ve included some of their music videos so you can check out the music, style, and energy that Statik and kaRIN have been putting out there from their own label since the early nineties. What follows is only part of the interview… on my next G-Spot segment we’ll talk more about this new album and how it came together. For now, I present the first part of our conversation about Noiseplus Music, Saints & Sinners, and Collide..."

| DIY Music Video Contest |
[16 May 2007|12:47am] |
Nowadays, almost everyone has access to the means to produce media. We have YouTube, Photoshop, relatively cheap amp modellers, digital video cameras, etc. etc. However this accessibility does not provide something worth saying, nor does it provide us with the skill to present it well. As always, that takes time and effort, and with the glut of content now pumping through the Internet, it can be very hard to sort through it.
This is in part why Alterati exists. As an initial litmus test of what kind of media chops you people have, I came up with an idea for this contest.

| subQtaneous - final masters complete |
[03 Feb 2007|07:52pm] |
Described as a “stick of dynamite strapped to reality,” (Scenery Zine), subQtaneous is a diverse conceptual, collaborative album. It carves new soundscapes ranging from brutal, pounding industrial to sarcastic hip hop set over carnival music to delicately layered trance. While the tracks are tied together by a common theme – the corrosive dark side of capitalism, and its effects on our psyche – none of the musicians involved in this project try to beat you over the head with their ideology. Instead it remains, as the title would imply, an almost subliminal experience that slowly gets under your skin, and doesn’t come out in the wash.
We’re proud to announce that the final mastering session has been completed. The CD will be available shortly, in the meantime here are two of the final masters (in mp3 format):
Transit of Venus.
![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) choronzon333: Vocals.
mindcube, Ryan Moll: Guitars.
agent139: Drums, percussion, bass.
agent139 and mysterylodge: production.
Double Bind
choronzon333: Vocals, Cello.
mindcube, Dave Clark, agent139: Guitars.
mysterylodge: Bass.
agent139: Drums/percussion.
agent139 and mysterylodge: Production.

| How to be a rock star |
[26 Dec 2006|01:18pm] |
By st stephen.
http://irreality.net/library/essays&essayID=49
Throughout all of the preceding 24 steps, you did everything exactly as you should have. Now you are a celebrity...the rock star that everyone in the world wants to meet and get to know. Think about how important you are now. You're nothing like the little insignificant speck you once were. If you don't think things have changed, just turn on your television or radio and you will hear continual updates on what you've been up to lately. Though this is somewhat an intrusion on your privacy, you blew the whole thing into your mountain hole anyway. Can you see a crack in the side of your head? Your beard is turning grey, allowing you to feed on the wild offspring that dance in the desert sun.
THE LOVE THAT BURNS
Love is real. Real is love. (from John Lennon's "Love")
Remember all those terrible arguments between your parents that ended with you being beaten and slammed into the wall? Remember how the nurse at the hospital told you that it was "okay to tell"? Well, it's still okay to tell about the love inside you. Let it spill out everywhere. Don't be afraid to tell it on the mountain, little star, because that's where you'll find the very best barbecue there is. No "lite" sauces here. Only the thick, sticky best. Your mother is standing behind you, with your father a few yards away. Poke away into the stardust, and kick the little horse behind the shed. Your effort paid off in the very best way, and now you're the center of everyone's universe.
Let the freshest piece of the chicken boil inside of you, and may the tendons be your guide.
Also, oh yeah. The new irreality.net is teh sex. I'm not even kidding.

| subQtaneous - early release CD available |
[14 Oct 2006|12:33am] |
This CD is the a limited time early release version. It includes a special bonus track, and versions of a handful of songs that won't be on the final pressing. The final pressing will have a new song and some alternate mixes.
Described as a "stick of dynamite strapped to reality," (Scenery Zine), subQtaneous is a diverse conceptual, collaborative album. It carves new soundscapes ranging from brutal, pounding industrial to sarcastic hip hop set over carnival music to delicately layered trance. It has been compared to Pigface, probably due to its format, as well as Coil, Mr Bungle, and Frank Zappa. It includes contributions from members of bands such as Collide, Veil of Thorns, Rob Banks, Elektroworx, and many others. While the tracks are tied together by a common theme – the corrosive dark side of capitalism, and its effects on our psyche – none of the musicians involved in this project try to beat you over the head with their ideology. Instead it remains, as the title would imply, an almost subliminal experience that slowly gets under your skin, and doesn't come out in the wash.
Appearing on the early release version: James Curcio (Babalon), Ken Schaefer (Rob Banks, Buddharabbit), P. Emerson Williams (Choronzon, Veil of Thorns), Sean Marsden and Gaetan Sputnik (Elektroworx, 233project), Scott Landes (Collide, Mankind Is Obsolete, Babalon), Zac Shaw and Paul Heath (Dead Unicorn), Dave Clark (Rob Banks), Jesse DeSanto (A 3rd Wish Granted), Insanity (I&I), Martine Sinatra, Agent 036, Nate Sampsel, Anna Young & Aric Viecek (subNatural). The album design is by James Curcio with illustration by Jessika Kaos and photography by Judith Curcio.

| subQtaneous-- update |
[13 Jul 2006|10:59pm] |
This album is taking forever to wrap, I know.
Just got some vocals in from Gaetan... I smoothed em out a little bit, then I'll be taking them over to mysterylodge's place, hopefully with voxx from one other track w/ Gaetan, and possibly some cello and voxx for Wake Up from choronzon333 should he choose to... Mixing, pre-master mastering... Then give that master CD a run through the hardware unit Gaetan has to see if it improves the sound or not.
I'm guessing all of that can be done in 2 weeks, though the way things have been going, it could be more like a month. The release of the album at this point ties into another plot I have brewing... so it might be a little while until it is fully distributed. I've reconsidered releasing the entire album as mp3 though I will make a bunch of the final mp3s available for free. I will probably set up a temporary POD solution for those who want to have a copy to hold in their hands and caress before the full 'roll out.'
Anyway, here's an early mix of that track, now titled Out Of Control.
The production process for this track went something like this --
Early percussion and guitars were sent to me by mindcube, I then laid down a bunch of percussion and tracked guitars along with his, mysterylodge laid down bass, we did some early mixing, sent that mix to Gaetan... he'd been working 15 hour days 7 days a week at the Troc for 40odd days straight, so it took him a while to get them back to me... but it did finally come in. And I think it's going to be pretty kickass. If we can clean up a little of the white noise in the guitars (while still keeping the 'NIN wall of noise' effect) and pump it a bit I think it might make a good radio single, especially given the length.

As I predicted, and secretly kind of hoped, there was a reaction to my posting an article from MTV on key23. So let's bring this one out, because it's something worth discussing, at least according to the responses which blossomed to my post in my private journal to the same effect.
To be honest, I don't know how to paint it clearer than I did with the title, but here goes.

| subQtaneous - Some Still Despair In A Prozac Nation |
[15 Mar 2006|01:04am] |
So close I can taste it...
Described as a "stick of dynamite strapped to reality," (Scenery Zine), subQtaneous is a conceptual, collaborative project arranged by James Curcio. It has been compared to Pigface -- probably mainly because of its format, as well as Coil, Mr Bungle, and even Frank Zappa. Most of these comparisons are generally pretty lame, and do an injustice to both the band in question and the band that is being used for comparison. As Dr. Timothy Leary said, probably while swimming in a cool pool of serotonin as big as the moon, "think for yourself."
The common thread, aside from the musicians and a sort of infectious sickness that lingers between the cracks, despite regular 180 degree turns in musical genre, is the idea of modern society disintegrating. Curcio described it in an interview with TOPY as a "pre-apocalyptic concept album."
More on the subQtaneous page, where I've posted three of the nearly finished tracks.
mysterylodge and I put in yet another night last night. We're very close to completion now- vocals on two tracks, possible vocals on another I'm not holding my breath for... one final mixing session and we're done.
As soon as humanly possibly (within a month I hope) I'll be doing an early release, and then begin the process of exploring distribution and label options. For those that contributed or stuck by all the hard years, thanks. For those who pissed me off in the process, thanks for giving me something to get my grind off on to.
