The Music...

Sat, 16 May 2009 19:02:00 GMT

The music of SONIK is derived from a very varied array of influences spanning the entire electronic music scene such as Kraftwerk, JMJ, Underworld, NIN, 808 State, Front 242 and HiGate (not to mention a million faceless dance acts.) SONIK attempts to combine many of the aspects of modern dance music with the more subtle atmospheric qualities of bands such as Kraftwerk and Underworld. With the use of ambient voice clips and soundbites, SONIK produce a laidback fusion of strong dance oriented beats, with an interesting, atmospheric backing. While always remaining focused on the rhythm element of the music, SONIK believe that the monotonic, 7 minute long type of dance track leaves many listeners disenchanted. As a remedy for this effect, the band strictly limit tracks to a maximum length of 4 minutes and always attempt to provide the listener with something different every few seconds. SONIK formed in 2001 and immediately began writing and recording their unique brand of electronic music. The band write, record and produce music for fun, and as such believe that music should be free of charge. In keeping with this philosophy, SONIK encourage others to download and distribute the music in audio and MP3 form.
SONIK enjoy playing music live and plan to do so many times during the next 12 months.
The band are currently writing new material which, they hope to play live in Fall of 2009. These gigs will also showcase the new 'liveplay' audio triggering software, which the band have developed over the last 6 months in order to realise their ambition of mixing and triggering large number of audio samples live on stage.
