Rexx came up with it. I said 'that's the stupidest shit i've ever heard', but he didn't like my idea of Mr. Toast Farts Blood.

hahaha
i love FGFC820, it sounds like a fuckin serial number or something. haha

one day my computer broke down

I wanted more people to learn Italian lol

no, you italian mofo, you don't even need to sing, your tracks are cool as instrumental. probably one of the best instrumental electro industrial i've listened to in a long while. so thanks for giving that cd it was something!

And yeah I'm stoned I didn't even realize it was this thread LOL sorry about that ahah but yeah I do think it's a good album. That would make it a fair reason to try to learn an Italian name. :} BTW, I never had any trouble remembering your band name. It feels natural, unlike some int3re3st1ng band names.

And yeah I'm stoned
don't be greedy share!

unlike some int3re3st1ng band names.
like Apoptygma Bezerk?



actually my late grandmother and the electronic act "Orbital" are responsible for my project name :)

no where exactly did Haujobb come from?

Orbital was teh cool back in the day :D

Isn't it the German word for skinjob?

In my band LVX Occulta [named after Crowley][97-99] we had an artist create a large "fan" of metal cut into the LVX symbol. This spawned an idea between myself and Dx to make two industrial size rotors with fan blades spinning slowly behind us as we "played", experimental industrial noise that we would have made up on the spot.

Then my friend Dx changed his mind and went into the Army. I turned rotor into a more digital idea "R010R", and made it a solo effort.

I did not have a hand in creating the band name Noise Process. It was already made when I joined in 2000.

women. nuff said
haha

Haujobb was reference to one of the foreign versions of Blade Runner, right?

I got Cyanotic from some medical files I was logging when I was working as a data processor. Most people think its just a made up sci-fi word, but it be not.

Yeah, isn't cyanosis like a skin condition or something involving discolouration of the skin?

Anyway, I was playing Unreal Tournament 2004 one night when I was bored, and one of my robot opponents shouted "ROGUE PROCESS TERMINATED!" at me as it killed me good with a shock rifle. I liked the name as it just sort of summed up the vibe I was going for at the time.

Yeah. The medical term for turning blue from lack of oxygen. I always hear it when I'm channel surfing past medical shows.

Meta Section (US spelling) was a covert agency referred to in the novel of "Raise the Titanic". I always liked the sound of it, and just changed the C to a K, to give it a more Teutonic look.....

Well, project 6209 is a name I came up for some jamming session Z3R0 and I were having few years back. It's simply a generic name for a generic band, yet another project, yet another number in the scene. I like tongue-in-cheek names.

I was studying C++ and it kept showing up.
Never did learn to code, but at least I got a name no one else had out of it.

C++?
I always though Endif was purely a basic thing.

YADE = Yet Another Dumbass Electroproject :-)

@Sumez: it is :-)

c++ uses "{" "}" signs to select code blocks :-)

@ Sumez + YADE

??

No, C++ is definitely where I got it.
Dunno how BASIC deals with its equivalent.. too long ago.

My tutor at the time was a friend who happened to be a highly skilled greyhat security consultant (I was totally unworthy of his tutelage), and one of his examples was a chunk of shellcode from an exploit he'd discovered recently. 'Endif' kept coming up in the text.

Didn't stick with it, and the name is pretty much all I took out of the experience.

DYM = Death to Your Modern (ya there's and extra T so what :P)

i read generation x by dougie coupland and at the time didn't know that there was a such thing as generation Y. and since i was on the cusp i thought i'd be all like "generation cable"

ya know, cause i'm deep muthafucka lol. then some friend of mine just started calling it genCAB and it stuck because i was too lazy to right that out

The Crystalline Effect is a preset on a vocal FX unit.

Plague Sequence seemed a natural extention of the name "virulent" which I'd been using as a username+DJ name for a while.

Shiv-r, sitting in a cafe in London, freezing my arse off, trying to think of a band name, couldn't stop shivering...

ive always been a fan of Aphex Twin since day one. I studied graphic design in college and wanted a name for potential freelance work or possibly if I ever had the chance to create my own graphic design company. So after playing around with Aphex Twin, I came up with Apex GrAphex.
Then I eventually joined the internet communities and needed a screen name. The first site I joined with a community was SuicideGirls.com, so I shortened Apex GrAphex to Apexxx, with 3 X's for a reference to the porn site. From then on, all of my web community names were Apexxx, or when not available, Apexxx711. 7/11 is my bday, but it is also the name of a well known convenience mart. :)
My logo, seen on my profiles where possible, (*cough* Side-Line-no-emoticons *cough*) was inspired by a mixture of Alec Empire's Intelligence and Sacrifice logo combined with Aphex Twins logo combined with my love of optical illusion graphics such as the penrose triangle. I also copyrighted the logo the had it tattooed in the middle of my back once i recieved my certificate from the US gov.
I dont talk about my music project (which is also Apexxx) to anyone much because Im not ready to share anything with anyone for at least another 3 months...

sorry, but thats as short of an explanation I can give. :)

Shakespeare, by way of Robert Frost and initially an old Theaterworks (Boston) piece my brother was part of (and I helped, at age 10(?) source music regarding evacuation, the end of the world, etc, for..! =D )

UCNX is the clinical shorthand for Unconsciousness. It passed the 2 week test basically. Plus design-wise the letters look nice next to each other.

I named my project Ad·ver·sary as a way to focus on what I write music about, which is mostly conflict and power.

The mid·dot punctuation is mostly a 'legally distinct from any other musical artist named Adversary' symbol, but I really like the dictionary aesthetic.

@Jairus: I always liked your band name, especially with the dots, too.
@r3co1l: Ah, so that's what that means.
@Virul3nt: H3000?

@Out Out: Not sure actually, it was my singer who owned the unit and suggested the name.

I'm thinking of the "crystal echoes" patch on the H3000 I think. Hm.

I should mention that another advantage of the middots in Ad·ver·sary is that it abbreviates the band to AVS, which works really well for merch/etc.

@Out Out: Thanks! It's funny, Robert Frost is my favourite poet (by far), and when I was looking for inspiration for the title of my project, I spent an afternoon leafing through a collection to see if there was something there I could use.

@Jairus: =D You know the poem of which I speak then?!!
And that's an interesting way of getting an abbreviation from a one word name. :)

the name came up one very stoned evening after watching a Pinky & the Brain marathon & discarding a bunch of far more offensive &/or ridiculous names. about 3 years later i got on the interweb & found a site with a similar name promoting Meat Beat, Pink Dots & various other alterna-hooey. i've since been too lazy & stubborn to change it.

"YADE = Yet Another Dumbass Electroproject :-)"
Wait, are you serious?

"i read generation x by dougie coupland and at the time didn't know that there was a such thing as generation Y. and since i was on the cusp i thought i'd be all like "generation cable"

ya know, cause i'm deep muthafucka lol. then some friend of mine just started calling it genCAB and it stuck because i was too lazy to right that out"
Haha, your band name started with not knowing there was such a thing as generation Y? In that case, I'm glad you called it genCAB. :P

THD- TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION : my old studio accomplice ed vargo and i saw it on "audiophile" stereo stuff (rating system for speakers & amps etc..) so we just kinda looked at each other and were like "yeah thats great!" actaully i think ed proposed it. it just sort of fit how we saw what we wanted to do.

s.rude

The name "Divider" was originally conceived as an attempt to reference MS DOS.

Originally we were "Divide://Dir" but no one got it. Local Radio DJs were mispronouncing it which didn't help us. I didn't really like the sound of the name but I did like the clinical or sterile nature of it. So I kept it but simplified it so everyone would understand.

What ever happened to DEATHKEY?


....sorry.....I deeply apologize for that one.....It had to be said (assuming no one else said it). And yes, I know that NO one on side-line says DEATHKEY anymore.

I just long for the days of old...you know....2005.
