about

this blog was designed to elaborate on the musical works of composer M. Fazio and vocalist J. Ladd within the context of the experimental art pop ensemble of life with the lions (est. 1992), the solo work of M. Fazio under the nom de plume of orchestramaxfieldparrish (est. 1999) and the left field electronic explorations and remix work of duo M. Fazio and T. Hamlin working under the project name of Gods Of Electricity (est. 2005), as well as an assortment of other projects that may or may not be in progress at one particular moment, all under the umbrella of Faith Strange Recordings (est. 1992) – a totally independent music imprint.

occasionally this blog will comment on the works of fellow travellers near and dear to us as well as reviews on the works of other experimental artists that have truly inspired our own music.

and occasionally this blog will (hopefully) spur discussion and debate about happenings that have affected us, more often than not, in a very direct manner.

moreover, this space will be used to comment on the dismal state of affairs of today’s independent music scene and how it affects the daily lives and careers of experimental artists, with the goal of bringing together like-minded artists to instigate change in the present status quo.
