Flat Affect is the ongoing project of Shaun Phelps, a former electronic music critic of no particular esteem. F/A has been around in one form or another since 2000. The name was not always the same, but the aesthetic has had surprisngly few changes.

F/A's web page, sadly, is based off of Myspace. Click to go. If this page gets a response, I'll use it often.
Why this name?
Flat Affect is a condition found in many schizophrenics and antisocial personalities. It is a general lack of emotion, a blunted affect.
Do you play live?
I do play live. I have played in homes, art galleries, music venues, and parks. I prefer to play in people's homes. There is more freedom of expression.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I cannot believe this question is being asked.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I dare one to sign me.
