F-space
Bleeding Rays Of Dawn
Second album by the San Francisco pyro-post rock band F-Space. F-Space is a powerful, unparalleled musical project by San Francisco sound artists Ethan Port and Scot Jenerik based upon the intense spectacle of performance, concentrating on alternative sound and flame sources. F-SPACE is intelligent, frenetic and visceral, with an encompassing, violent, passionate sonic experience full of intimate intricacies that can transform the listener to the altered states tread by shamans. Past members include CHROME drummer Aleph Kali and Man Is The Bastard drummer Joel Connell. F-Space relies heavily on its own unique custom built "big boom" percussive instruments to define a new audio and visual quality that is at once organic and electronic. The instruments of metal, springs, strings and other hardware (often immersing the band in 12 foot fire balls) produce the bands unique "Shop Rock" sound. The project still heavily references traditional rock, pop, ethnic and psychedelic melodies, influenced by the time Ethan Port spent playing alternately tuned guitars in the seminal 1980s Los Angeles art punk outfits Savage Republic and Death Ride 69) but within a new sonic architecture. Other references include early Einstürzende Neubaute, Swans, Glenn Branca and early Sonic Youth.
