Fake Plastic Heads - the solo project of Charles S. Kuzmanovic a.k.a. radar.one

Here to guide you deep down there....to some dark places inside of your head....or his head?
An experimental approach to deal with the usual mind-blowing drama happening quite often in this world.
Poetry meets industrial meets dark soundscapes.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
fake plastic heads is the band-project of Charles S. a.k.a. radar.one a.k.a. the c.
It started way back in 1998, then by the name of 11 ton butterfly.
In 2006, this name was no longer suitable for the direction the music was heading to and
evolving. Charles S.'s musical influences are somewhere around such bands like:
Nine Inch Nails, Autechre, Sielwolf, Squarepusher, Animals on Wheels, Tool, Tomahawk, dälek, etc.
The main focus lies on the translation of inner most feelings into something organic -
that would last in the head of the listener. The dark and often industrial soundscapes
serve as a basis for complex structures of sounds and (sometimes) noise.
The story-telling skills of the c., who was already published in various poetry
anthologies throughout the U.S. [International Library of Poetry] and
worldwide [Noble House], add a poetic side to the music:
it's an intellectual approach coping and getting along with everyday
problems and trying to reduce the impact of suffering.
Musicians already involved are: Miss Diamond, JZM a.k.a. zykopanzer
