Xvektor began as an experimental collaborative project for creating abstract tone and rhythm compositions. Utilizing synthesizer, guitars, voices, violin, computer software and various other sound generating and processing devices the collaborative mixes elements of excess with minimal elements to create structures that seem chaotic, alien and familiar simultaneously. The sonic equivalent of non representational abstract art. The unit continues to create experimental soundscapes while occasionally entering almost familiar territory. Recently guitarist Steve Thomas began recording new material with Alan. This new work is heavy on guitar and has a decidedly more improvisational feel and we're really pleased with the sound. It's some pretty crazy stuff. The first session produced the recently uploaded composition titled 'As If Anyone Could Know That' and as the name implies it doesn't take itself too seriously. Since it is 11 minutes long, we couldn't put it on Soundclick. However, this composition and others can be found on our ISound site at: (on ISound.com only. http://www.isound.com/#/xvektor).

Why this name?
The name was derived from a graphic term defining a point on a graph. We also felt that it could designate a point in time, as well. An event. A moment. The name was also chosen because it had an otherworldly sound something akin to an alien overlord, and as we are heavily influenced by sci fi and fantasy art/films, this seemed like a fitting moniker. Plus, God told us to.
Do you play live?
We are a recording project only, at this time. But as soon as we figure out how to play 47 wave files simultaneously... we're there!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Sure. Send Groupies!
Your influences?
We are heavily influenced by Brian Eno, Fripp, King Crimson, Aphex Twin, Bill Nelson, Laurie Anderson, Coil and many other bands that explore the ambient/progressive landscape.
Equipment used:
Guitars, violin, synthesizers, vocals, noises and various processing devices.
