Datawhore is a UK-based writer, musician and sound artist. Potentia recording artists Zone have started a collaboration with Datawhore that already features a compelling dance track built around the latter's text "The Benefactor", included on their World Serpent CD "Angel Of Freedom".
At BeSonic Datawhore material has featured in the Top 30 charts in several genres: Intelligent Techno (Top 5); Industrial Rock (Top 10); Electronic Classical (Top 20). The track "I'm Online, Care To Come Watch? (147 Mix)" - remixed by The Little Doctors - is steadily in the top IDM downloads and is a potential club hit. Fellow Besonic artists s.p. vs j.v. have remixed Naturezgone into a top Illbient download. At his LYCOS MP3 Listening Room Datawhores material had over 3500 streams and 500 downloads; Do Me, Computers was in the Alternative/Experimental Top Ten for weeks after its posting. Datawhore is now seeking a label and/or production and distribution deal to release material globally.
Fascinated by the dynamics and skewed spirit of cyberspace, Datawhore uses PC audio tools to create lateral mutant sound collages that aspire to capture the energy of cyberspace. Chat rooms, cheesy religion, Microsoft and whatever else he can find pieces of floating around online sound file archives, plus his own cut up texts, are juxtaposed over abused generic dance music.Band/artist history
Band Members
I don't believe in having band members; they are expensive to maintain, and argue. I have a computer instead.
Motto
Surrendered To My Function
"Today, electronics and automation make mandatory that everybody adjust to the vast global environment as if it were his little home town. The artist is the only person who does not shrink from this challenge. He exults in the novelties of perception afforded by innovation. The pain that the ordinary person feels in perceiving the confusion is charged with thrills for the artist in the discovery of new boundaries and territories for the human spirit. He glories in the invention of new identities, corporate and private, that for the political and educational establishments, as for domestic life, bring anarchy and despair."
- Marshall McLuhanHave you performed in front of an audience?I'm not alive...let alone playing live.
