Industrial pioneers SPK are back with a field report from Frisco
Out now is “Field Report San Francisco”, the first of a series of previously unreleased soundboard recordings by the industrial pioneers of SPK. “Field Report S.F.” was recorded at the Odd Fellows Hall on May 16th 1981 and was the first ever SPK show in the USA. The CD features big part of the concert plus a previously unreleased studio-recording from 1982. Get it here on Amazon DE.
The second release that also hits the shop shelves is “Case Study London” which holds previously unreleased soundboard recordings from 1982 / 1983 + 2 exclusive studio tracks. You can get that one here on Amazon DE.
Here’s what Brian Lustmord says about the “Case Study London” CD: “The release is interesting for me personally as it includes a show where I was at the mixing desk (London, Heaven 1982) and another from when I was more actively involved in SPK as a member, performing material I had contributed too (London, Brixton April 1982). The Brixton show is of particular interest from a historical perspective as it’s one of only 2 SPK shows where all (except one) of the tracks performed have never been recorded in the studio. This is a mostly undocumented period in SPK history between the raw sound of ‘Leichenschrei’ and what became the “Metal Dance” direction that I really disliked and had no involvement in.”
SPK were an Australian industrial music and noise music group formed in 1978. They were fronted by Graeme Revell on keyboards and percussion. In 1980 the group travelled to the United Kingdom where their debut album, “Information Overload Unit”, was released on Side Effects. In 1983 Sinan Leong joined on lead vocals. The group disbanded in 1988.

I Dream of Wires 3: Orphx & Modulars – The Physical Element
Canadian duo Orphx have been releasing electronic music since 1993, and while they were best known in experimental/industrial music circles for many years, today they are regarded as pioneers in the fusion of techno and industrial music. Orphx’s recent output on Sonic Groove has met with critical acclaim from many of techno’s leading DJs. Having performed live with laptops for several years, Orphx’s Christina Sealey made the decision to delve in modular synthesizers, hoping it would bring some spontaneity and excitement to Orphx’s music, both on stage and in the studio.
Orphx’s Christina Sealey will be performing live, as part of Sealey/Greenspan/Lanza, at I Dream Of Wires’ 2012 MUTEK showcase.

Exclusive radio interview with industrial act Hocico at ElectriXmas 2011
We continue our reporting from this year’s electronic music event in Sweden – ElectriXmas. This time Steelberry Clones had an interview with Hocico, the agrressive industrial electronic act from Mexico (although they live in Germany today). Backstage we asked the lead singer of Hocico everything ranging from the new album, how it is to play in Russia and their take on iOS synth apps.
The duo was officially formed in 1993 by Erik Garcia a.k.a Erk Aicrag (lyrics and vocals) and Oscar Mayorga a.k.a. Racso Agroyam (Programming), but both cousins had been experimenting with electronic music, mixing industrial and EBM, since they were fifteen years old. Their music can be described as electro-industrial. Erk Aircrag and Racso Agroyam incited to express their feelings through technology. Given the influence of varying currents of electronic music (mainly Skinny Puppy) they began their trajectory in 1989 in a project called “Niñera Degenerada”. Their lyrics are both in Spanish as well as English. The Spanish word hocico means snout, and is used in Mexico as a dis-respective way to describe someone’s comments coming out of their mouth.
Racso Agroyam has a side project called Dulce Liquido.
Erk Aicrag has a side project called Rabia Sorda.

Industrial noise synth
Serious noise in this video:
Here’s a clip of the performance synth I built over the summer of 2011. I just added an awesome rhythm section prototype circuit based on Eric archers amazing andromeda drum modules. The drum sequencer is basically just two CD4089 binary rate multipliers. I added a CD4024 binary counter for making more complex rhythm sequences and also added a CD40106 for inverting various signals to put everything in phase.
New video with Miss FD – “Moment Of Fade”
“Moment of Fade”, the second video from Miss FD’s most recent studio album “Love Never Dies”, continues the artist’s journey through a world of riddles without solutions.
This lush gothic tale was filmed by Adam Alvarez (who also directed the video for FD’s playful Halloween treat “Love Magick”) on various locations in Miami, Florida. The contrasting images of light and darkness capture the emotional heart of both the song and the album, as FD roams a lonely domain in search of the key to a happier reality that remains out of reach.
