Noise ... for art's sake. For the sake of exploring the possibilities of electronic freedom: the ability to sculpt the canvas, mold the brush, tone the color and ultimately apply the strokes in an abstract medium-- a medium where the character of the instruments can be as much a part of the structure as what's being done with them.
Impossible Toys seeks to caputre the evolutionary process of forms and modes of tones, coloration, rhythms, noises and ultimately cohesive collections of these elements which suffice to become tracks. It's less about the finished product than the path to it.Band/artist history
Impossible Toys is comprised of two members: and whosmary (Ty). Basically, the band started as an outlet for us to express our electronic-music influences and took on a more "buck-the-system" approach.
We realized rather early on that the jam sessions and the whole sonic documentation process of starting with nothing-- no computer backing tracks, key signatures, chord progressions, rhythmic elements or any sort of cohesive form-- and ending up with a "finished product". More a way to record the brainstorming process through the filter of the electronic character of the medium we're working with-- sort of letting the instruments be players in the band, letting their creative and expressive voices be heard rather than just manipulated.Have you performed in front of an audience?All of our songs are recorded live, whether in a basement during a jam session or in a living room of a party doing live-PA. That is the nature of Impossible Toys.
