I/C/O/C is not a band in itself, but a sound; threatning, pulsating and sickening; hard, raw and unpenetrable. Waves of distortion and feedback crash against a cold and rocky wall, mutating and transforming in different ways to a pulsating repetitive beat, going out of sync and losing control, but returning to a solid unity, just to crash and crumble again. This is not music for everybody.
Band/artist history
I/C/O/C is a unique entity that, knowing that it has to have influences in one way or another, works on a subconscious way, without reasoning, straight and improvised. The "lead" instrument in I/C/O/C is the guitar, but it doesn't play traditional riffs or melodies; it spews atonal sounds, without musical notes while expressing deep emotions, frequently unsettling, but also intimate and vulnerable at times. The guitar is not by itself, it's backed by repetitive rhythms and loops that remind of the sounds of artists who where considered too radical for their time, the deafening industrial clang of Throbbing Gristle, Einsturzende Neubauten, Skinny Puppy and the artists on the Wax Trax! Label. The result is a sonic wall refusing to back off on a battle with itself on a cold, hostile, mechanized, repetitive but imperfect and threading to crumble universe, while ignoring the limits of structure and time.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Maybe someday I/C/O/C will perform onstage, yet it's mainly a studio project intended for improvisations
Your musical influences
Architects of noise through out the years have paved the way for I/C/O/C: Branca, Cage, Ayler, The Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth, Swans, Flipper, Merzbow, etc. But I/C/O/C's biggest influence and inspiration, keeping in mind that the main focus here is the guitar, is Joe Satriani
What equipment do you use?
guitar, pedals, cables, amps, software, contact mics, socks, tapes and other lo-fi devices
Anything else?
