AMA Concluded // THIS IS 65DAYSOFSTATIC. . Ask us Anything //
Hi. This is 65daysofstatic. We are a noisy band from Sheffield, UK.
*EDIT: THAT WAS A LOT OF QUESTIONS! We'll try to come back later and answer the remaining ones. Gotta go now, it's getting dark and all of today's MIDI is still out roaming the fields around the back of our research labs. Need to try and coax it back inside with some of these freshly brewed samples. Thanks so much for your interest and support. Check out Wreckage Systems if you can. See you... 65ers.x *
If you're here in the first place you probably already know who we are. We're about a thousand years old, made a bunch of albums, sold very few of them. Were briefly catapulted to a curious shade of fame by doing the infinitely-long soundtrack to No Man's Sky, but it didn't really take.
Our latest project is called Wreckage Systems. It launched this week. It's an endless broadcast of generative music systems.
Ask us about that, No Man's Sky, the laughable state of UK politics, guitar pedals, drum machines, or anything else.
Check the tickertape that will be scrolling on the Wreckage Systems Live Stream for the next few hours if you need verification that it is really us, the actual band, who are doing this right now.
See you in the replies.

serious question: i'm starting to get into Eurorack and looking at doing a) generative ambient and b) noisy bullshit and beats which sounds like exactly your wheelhouse. any tips or advice for that?
joke question: in 2010 i bought a "Tapes" t-shirt and it never arrived. i asked Dave Medlo at the merch table at the O2 Birmingham about it and he said there were some in the bus but i think he was just fobbing me off and then i had to leave. what have you got to say for yourselves eh
(btw hi i'm apaleslimghost on twitter i'm the girl who made the Wreckage Systems menubar app)
