Awake Alone

Snippet of a long lost demo recorded by Electrostatic around 2009. This is only the 2nd half of the song (the entire song is about 7 minutes long). Very cool, trippy vibe with absolutely beautiful vocals by Kaoru. Gorgeous lush guitars by Mike (and synth programming). Rob on drums and drum/percussion programming. Perhaps this finished song will see the light of day someday...until then, enjoy this teaser.

The Remixes collection is a full-length re-imagination of "A Color Map of the Sun." Derek Vincent Smith – aka Pretty Lights – invited producers from a wide stylistic spectrum to remix the tracks from his latest album. Derek produced "A Color Map of the Sun" with no intention of having it be an album of dance floor bangers, but rather a collection of music that can be enjoyed anyplace, anytime, all the time.

These 'Remixes' are other artists’ interpretations of his compositions and self made vinyl samples. The tracks are mostly intended to be hard hitting, but they are also just very different. See the track list below for all artists involved in the Pretty Lights’ "A Color Map of the Sun Remixes."

Let's Get Busy (heRobust Remix)

An epic adventure encapsulated into a short frenetic musical cascade of interwoven melodies.

Disco Macabre

Here is a quick and dirty track using a FutureRetro777 analog synth/sequencer. The 777 is an acid machine, a modern version of the 303 that goes dirtier and more crazy than the original. 

All the synth parts are the 777. Drums were created in Reason.

Enjoy!

Misused (Electrostatic's Breakz Mix)

Electrostatic "Misused"
Track #2 on the 2002 9-song EP 'Awake Alone'.

lyrics:
chaotic landscape, she just stays inside
because she believes there's nothing she can change
she still remembers the song she used to sing
it’s sealed in her mouth so no one can steal it
someday we will see how things are different
misuse of faith, what we have done to ourselves

Electrostatic's "Muzzle Velocity" from the 2002 "Awake Alone" EP.
Written by Kaoru Miyajima, Mike Thibeau and Rob Gardner.
Used in an episode of MTV Road Rules - South Pacific.

Lyrics:
once you pull this trigger it’s all gonna go wrong
because you know, because you know why
once you pull this trigger it will change the flow of time
you know, because you know why
there’s something you can’t hide
there’s something you can’t lie
your eyes are running after the bullet
to the aim you chose yourself
straight to your chest
you know there are always reasons
you just can’t remember
lunar eclipse
you see a halo
it’s not too late
muzzle velocity

Humberto Vs The New Reactionaries: Christine and The Queens Remixx by Mike D

Electrostatic is a 3-piece electronica band from Los Angeles that mixes elements of breakbeat, industrial and rock with sensual female vocals to create a sound that is all their own. The band was formed in 1998 by Mike Thibeau (bass, guitar, synths and programming), Rob Gardner (drums and programming) and Japanese singer/songwriter Kaoru.

Electrostatic first got recognition as one of the top electronic artists on mp3.com, and went on to make quite a name for themselves in the television and film industry. The band's music has been used in many TV shows and Films, and was even used on several of the Matrix DVD releases, and the Spider-Man Deluxe Edition DVD. The band is also well known for licensing music the several seasons of America's Next Top Model.

Electrostatic released several CDs themselves (Sensitive Electronic Devices, Unreality, Remixed and Duality) before signing on to LPS Records to release the Awake Alone EP in 2002. The EP received positive reviews in several magazines like Future Music, Outburn, DJ Magazine and more. A promotional video was made for the single "Stay Awake" that was directed by Paul Minor (who went on to direct videos for BT, Muse, Queens Of The Stone Age, AFI and James Blunt). The band also appeared on 3 of the "Variable" compilations on LPS records, as well as the Chillososphy-001 compilation on the Swedish MPDQX Label.

The Trio also has a reputation for their high energy live performances. They have played many high profile shows at world famous venues such as Los Angeles' El Rey Theatre, Viper Room, Whisky A Go-Go, Knitting Factory, and Roxy Theater, as well as the 2000 Vans Warped Tour in Anaheim, CA, the 2000 NXNW Music Conference, and Sundance 2004.

The band is currently writing and recording new music, and is also remastering and remixing all of their back catalog for re-release (with many rare and unreleased songs and remixes). Electrostatic also continues to write music for film and television, and their songs can currently be heard in movies, television shows and commercials around the world.
