FREEeLECTRONS (the music project as a subset of the freeelectrons collective.... weknow, we know... It's kinda confusing ;)

FREEeLECTRONS

“. . .packed with so much energy. Down to every last atom, Free Electrons create a new world. . . meandering journey through mystical chemical processes not known to modern science. . . a pinch of madness and a beakerful of music. . . enjoy the chemical reactions…” —Jennifer Barnes, The Dream People

When communion lulled itself into indefinite sleep, Six and DJ III explored other collaborative projects. One of which was Drei Sechs—arguably the duo’s first attempt at this dreaded thing called “dance music” with the release of a full-length demo that was, according to Six, “a disaster”. Nevertheless, upon review of the demo Future Music Magazine shined a faint light of hope when it wrote, “I like where you guys are going but needs more spice.”

And spice indeed, up your ying and down my yang, is what they deliver with the production of freeelectrons’ full-length CD "particles of energy". With tracks that individually dance on the experimental fringe of electronica, wherein various musical styles flow freely in acoustical intercourse, mixing the rigidity of electronic music with the dynamics of live performance, and the sweet surprises of musique concrete, this release is one to gain both respect and scorn, both love and hate, and perhaps nothing inbetween. Collectively, this release is one part uptempo, two-parts downtempo, three parts eclectic beats, and six parts free. . . freestyle that is!

But wait. Wait! There’s more: the voice, the unmistakeable Dimepiece, the lovely, freestylin’ diva that is Taylor Crews. Her vocal style and texture is reminiscent of those who caress jazz in the early part of the 20th century: soothing, sexy, deceptively sweet. Taylor fuses seemingly runaway musical discourses by Wendell and Six, thus securing freeelectrons’ potent musical triad.

Quite simply put this is POP music—in all its sweetness, freeforms and fanfares—pop in the 21st century! It has all the elements of great pop music—booty shaking beats, easily hummable melodies, memorable lyrics (though with hardly any choruses), and with enough experimentation to make the songs, and the album, a wee-bit special. Freeelectrons may not necessarily “free” music, but it certainly is free music for free electrons; whatever that means.

So, are you free electrons?

Sleep naked,
