Jschizoid at the CBC Brave New Waves 20th Anniversary Party
@ Club Drake, Toronto, Saturday March 20th, 2004
Jschizoid - Live @ Club Drake at the CBC Brave New Waves anniversary party 03/20/2004
This will be aired on CBC Radio, on Friday June 18th 2004. Visit www.bravewnewwaves.ca for times and stations.
Thesoundmonitor.com Review, 02/2004: Some of you may be familiar with Canada's Schizoid and his Covered in Metal release not long back. For the uninitiated, it was an mp3 release of industrialized covers of artists as diverse as Biohazard, Guns n' Roses and Meathook Seed. Schizoid's other alter-ego is JSchizoid, which adopts more of a dark ambient/noise outlook, relying heavily on influences such as Lull and Deutsch Nepal.
Divided and Conquered is a 40-minute journey using classic Dr Who soundtracks as the main platform. Crawling, industrial coldness is interspersed with the warmth of lo-fi samples and buzzes. It is the follow-up to That Is The Price of Immortality - an EP based on the music of the Indiana Jones trilogy.
'Origins of the Universe' is scary in its sparseness, while 'Anyone Can Understand Science' showcases some very familiar Dr Who sounds with a cello loop and classic white noise akin to many Cold Meat artists. It is an ambitious and somewhat admirable project that JSchizoid has taken on, and it results in some fine, dank, moments, especially when familiarity couples with the foreign as it does at the tail-end of 'Profits of Human Suffering' when the Tardis and JSchizoid fade to black.

SCHIZOID's ambient/noise/minimalist project. This is an offshoot project of the main SCHIZOID digital hardcore/industrial metal project, which you can find more about at www.schizoid.org or www.soundclick.com/schizoid.
Why this name?
Material is by SCHIZOID but not completely of the SCHIZOID style, thus it will be called JSCHIZOID.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
MP3s mean you can hear my stuff a lot easier, so that is cool.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, I would. Give me all your money, so I can spend it all on large quantities of marijuana and continue to make JSchizoid albums expense-free.
Band History:
January 2004 brings the release of "DIVIDED AND CONQUERED" by J.SCHIZOID. An ultimate audio tribute to long running science fiction cult TV series "DOCTOR WHO", inspired by the eerie, mysterious sounds created by composer Dudley Simpson and the many others involved in creating backing soundtracks and effects for the show.Culling samples of the audio from classic episodes as "Pyramids of Mars", "Death to the Daleks", “Nightmare of Eden" and 7 other DOCTOR WHO mini-series, J.SCHIZOID has rearranged and recycled this other-worldly input into what could very well be the soundtrack to a set of unreleased DOCTOR WHO episodes. Dusky, sedated layers mesh in and out of a spiraling vortex of time, invoking moods of dread, bodilessness, contemplation and suspense. Canadian industrial/electronic producer J.SCHIZOID has been behind the SCHIZOID project since 1998, and has released many seminal albums in the digital hardcore underground through his own D-TRASH Records label in Canada. His 2nd album "All Things Are Connected" was picked up for international distribution through infamous DIGITAL HARDCORE RECORDINGS and received rave reviews in UK music magazines KERRANG and TERRORIZER. A life-time DOCTOR WHO fan, J.SCHIZOID started work on this release in early 2003, and now it sees a proper release through New Zealand-based GOD REKIDZ @ www.godrekidz.com.

The flanging of visual effects, coupled with the loss of stereoscopic vision, becomes so strong that the brain seems to completely give up trying to process vision, leading to a sort of "chaotic blindness". Simple images (e.g., a candle flame) are still recognizable, although given the loss of stereoscopic vision one tends to see two of everything. More complex images, especially images that are not sharply defined, are difficult if not impossible to recognize. Vision, when possible, has a very dream-like quality to it.
Simple sounds are still understandable, and one can usually comprehend language, although it may be necessary for the speaker to phrase it in a complex rhythm. Music euphoria is rare. Touch and taste are subject to considerable anesthesia, and pain especially may be completely dissociated (it's still there, it just doesn't seem to apply). Body position, kinetic, and balance senses are similarly disrupted.
