Improv Experimental Space Rock Since 2000
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Mike Kirkland, Dustin Nash, & Gus Stathes of FATUM.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Dayton, and other places soon. We are a live based band, though it's usually only us who get to hear.
Your musical influences
We are mainly inspired by the unplanned acts of our hands on our instruments, and the spirit which wildly moves them with our consent. I usually bring to mind the stylings of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Explosions in the Sky, or A Silver Mt. Zion when performing , but typically the influence comes from a place i do not fullly understand. One where all the things around me fade to a pleasent hum, and the Spirit intercedes. Other such influence range from Pink Floyd to Boards of Canada, maybe a little Nine Inch Nails to roughen up the edges. Really we gain influence from everything we hear. Trying to appreciate the wonder of music in all it's forms.
What equipment do you use?
Boss Digital Delay, Ibanez Processing, H20, Rickenbacker, four seperate amps for one guitar.
Anything else?
Anything! Impulse You.
