Lost Chime

The String was initialized in 1997 when Josh Meredith and Aaron Anthony met in Fort Worth, Texas. Since both of them worked in tech support at the time working with modems it only seemed fitting to name the project Init String. An Init String is a command to force computers to connect via a modem. Shortly thereafter they began working with Michael (Smiley) Hale of Gift Culture who joined forces deploying his drumming skills with Josh and Aaron's psychedelic rhythms and beats. They soon released two albums, “Feedback Loops” and “Iterations” along with vinyl EP releases under their label Subtle Distortion Records. Multiple compilation tracks were released internationally to labels such as We Records, Nephlim Records, XYZ Distribution and Sundance. All three of them play as solo projects as well. Aaron established his own downtempo project called Artificial Life Preserver and Mike is widely known as Gift Culture. Josh composes music under his name Josh Meredith. Aaron Anthony, Josh Meredith, and Michael Hale are signed artists represented as Init String via the multimedia label known as Psymbolic.
