Formerly of the 90s futurist Post-punk band, Frodus. Now experimenting with electronics and stringed instruments in tandem for a sonic sci-fi assault of the senses.Band/artist history
Most notably Sheby Cinca is known for his time spent with the Post-Punk band Frodus (1993-1999) however his desire and foray into electronic music over the years germinated during his tenure in said band. His 8-Bit electronica finally materialized in 2004 from musical sketches while touring with his futurist post-punk band Decahedron. Making electronic music out of an affinity with such musics as well as out of necessity for an outlet to create sounds while traveling in a moving vehicle. Drawing inspiration from daydreaming science fiction imagery under the passing ambience of city lights.
Sonically the source sound material stems from a childhood fascination with the Commodore 64 and the original Nintendo Gameboy yet compositionally abhoring the concept of "twee 8-bit electronica" and approaching works rather in a forward thinking futurist manner. Bringing to mind such artists as: Mr. Oizo, Squarepusher, and Klause Schulze in 8-bit sonic contexts that create a soundtrack to living in our tech aggressive post-urban Gibsonian present.Have you performed in front of an audience?Yes. Space. Soon.
