65daysofstatic recently announced the release of their much anticipated sixth studio album ‘Wild Light’ on the 16th September, and now the band are excited to reveal an innovative online remix project for the track ‘Prisms’ taken from said new album. Designed by the band themselves, this interactive tool lets fans have a go at manipulating and remixing the track in a unique visual environment.

The band had this to say about the project: „While the NSA and GCHQ and all the other rotten hearts in dreamland try to see your every move and dream your every dream, we’ve tried to vaporise our musical thoughts and hide them in code. Now you can manipulate them as the powers that be will one day manipulate you! Point, click, BOOM. We thought it’d be cool to try and recreate that feeling when you fall asleep with nothing but the screen as a nightlight and wake up the next day with a head full of fragments. That the internet pervaded your dreams and planted in it a white grid in a black room and you have to find your own way with nothing but a touchpad and your innate pattern recognition for company.”
65daysofstatic also recently put together a special audio/visual installation entitled ‘Sleepwalk City’ at Sheffield’s Millennium Gallery as part of the Tramlines Festival. It was a bold and exciting move for the band, and short documentary piece has been made showcasing the event and how it was put together. Watch that here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?
