The New Digital Sound: Home
elektronik vs. industrial
________________________________________________________________________________
Hailing from Boston, Ma., The New Digital Sound is an emotion altering rock that doesn't quickly allow its' sound to be categorized. Drawing from influences within elektronik and industrial music, Copelinn (the founder of the band) seems to almost weave in an out of consciousness with a synth firmly in hand and a guitar or sequencer somewhere within arm's reach. The idea for (t) nds started more than 15 years ago with a psychotic obsession with sound, particularly recording and manipulating it. Early material enlisted the use of broken four track tape decks, CD players, guitar stomp boxes, outdated drum machines, and a few sequencers strewn throughout for good measure. The early recordings, though crude in design, seemed to capture a sort of hypnotic sense of paranoia meshed with a constant questioning of authority and silver linings that seemed ever-elusive. See Atari Teenage Riot, The Clash and Moby for reference. In short, they were created as a response to the visual world invading on a daily basis and that world was sometimes jagged and incomplete.

The music can best be described as innocence meshed with complete torture and isolation. The path of (t) nds has been a murky one to say the least and really started to gel with a complete abandonment of traditional methods of creating music: the band, the studio, the live-show and so forth. Copelinn aims to stay true to his basic philosophy of DIY music production with his latest effort "Species Protector", and, after locking himself away in his studio for the better half of a year, he is finally ready to release his latest work in September of 2007.
(t) nds has always been about hope. It has always been about politics. And it has always been about silver-linings, even when they seem impossible.
