The Coherent Encoherence

January 19, 2006





*Name: The Coherent Encoherence

*Are there any additional names used to describe this project: TCE

*Do you use a pseudonym? TCE
Keith Harvest (Keith's solo side project)
Lonelyfox (Nick's recent solo side project)
Eighth Tiny Reindeer (Nick's older solo project)

*Members: Keith Dylan Hadad, Nick Hadad

*Founding Members: Nick and Keith

*Tape manipulations, digital deconstructions or turntable creations: All of the above

*Another genre descriptor: Medialation, Medipulation

*Why you use this descriptor: Medialation is manipulating and reconstructing any prerecorded audio media/ mediums in any which way to create something entertaining in a scattered and unorganized fashion. (This describes "Will a Computer..." and our other older material)

Medipulation is a more structured, creative, technical, well organized version of Medialation that has more plots and/or themes in the songs. It's usually a digital reconstruction of a tape manipulation. (This describes our new material).

*Location: Right now we're recording near Rochester, New York.

*Original Location: We started as a group in New Ulm, Minnesota.

*What is your creative/artistic background: Playing around and experimenting with music, sounds, sound equipment, and old records from groups that helped inspire us (The White Album by The Beatles is probably the biggest influence) since we were kids. We started manipulating with dual tape decks before we knew that it was an art form. We also both have been painting, drawing, writing, and doing photography for as long as we can remember.

*History: We've been making manipulations since 1997, and we started recording projects as a group since late 2000.

*Born: Keith was born in Fall River, Massachusetts in 1989, and Nick was born in the same place 1985.

*Motivations: It's fun, you can create something funny or just plain entertaining out of something old or boring.

*Philosophy: We're finding ways to convey a message through spliced previously existing material.

*How would you like to be remembered: We'd like to be remembered as an underground group trying very creative new (sometimes humorous) directions in music.
